CBX 500 IOPs have a maximum power consumption limit of 100 watts per slot.
Using this number, you can calculate the worst-case power consumption on the
switch backplane, as follows: 14 x 100 (IOMs) + 260 (SPs) + 75 (fans) = 1735
watts.To obtain the input power, divide this number by the power supply
efficiency, 0.70.
Problems should not occur if the configuration does not exceed the 1050 watt limit.
Table 5-7
describes the breakout of the total power used by CBX 500 SPs, IOMs, and
fan assemblies.
