Power Specifications

Power specifications include the specifications for each type of power supply module.

Power Requirements for Switch Modules

Determine the number of power supplies required to operate all the modules in a switch by adding the maximum power amounts for each module in the switch. Then divide the sum by 3000 W. If there is a fractional amount in the result, add 1 to the result. For n+1 redundancy, add one more power supply. For n+n redundancy, double the number of power supplies and provision for a second power source.

To determine the typical consumption, add the typical power amounts for each module in the switch.

Make sure that any new power supplies use the same type of power (AC or DC) as the rest of the power supplies in the switch. Do not use a mix of AC and DC power sources for a switch.

Maximum Power Available to the Switch

The maximum power available for operations depends on the input power from your power source. Also, the number and output capabilities of your power supplies, and the power redundancy mode that you use. The following table lists the amount of power available for 3-kW power supplies depending on power inputs, numbers of power supplies, and the mode used.

3-kW DC Power Supply Power Cord Specifications

Each 3-kW DC power supply requires four customer-supplied power cables (two negative cables and two positive cables). We recommend using six gauge cables. Cisco supplies 6-gauge lugs for connections to the power supply. You supply the connectors that are required to connect the cables to the DC power source.
