2. Calculate the maximum internal power consumption of the entire router by adding the maximum
power requirements of each line card. See
for a chart of the power needed for
line cards.

For example, for an MX10004-PREMIUM Configuration with four MX10K-LC9600 line cards, the
maximum power consumption of the four line cards is 7080 W:
1770 W (power consumed by one MX10K-LC9600) x 4 line cards = 7080 W
3. Add the power consumption from Step
(3002 W) and the total line card consumption from Step
(7080 W).
To continue from the previous example, add the wattage from four MX10K-LC9600 line cards (7080
W) to an MX10004-PREMIUM configuration (3002 W):
