Component Power Requirements and Heat Dissipation Specifications

Consider heat dissipation when sizing the air-conditioning requirements for an installation. The power and heat associated with a Cisco MDS 9216 Switch varies based upon the following considerations:

Switching module type and number of switching modules installed

Average switching traffic levels

Table C-7 lists the power requirements and heat dissipation for the components of the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch.


Note Unless noted otherwise, the data in Table C-7 is based on worst-case conditions. Typical numbers are approximately 30 percent below the numbers listed here.

Supported Power Cords and Plugs

A separate power cord is provided for each power supply. Standard power cords or jumper power cords are available for connection to a power distribution unit having IEC 60320 C13 outlet receptacles. The jumper power cords, for use in cabinets, are available as an option instead of the standard power cords.

Power Cords

The standard power cords have an IEC C15 connector on the end that plugs into the switch. The optional jumper power cords have an IEC C15 connector on the end that plugs into the switch, and an IEC C14 connector on the end that plugs into an IEC C13 outlet receptacle. Only the standard power cords or jumper power cords provided with the switch are supported.
