To calculate the number of power supplies required for your switch configuration:
1. Determine the power requirement of the base chassis (that is, the combined power
requirements of the fan tray, SRE module or modules, and the SF module) by
consulting Table 50 on page 118.
The watt values shown in Table 50 on page 118 are the amount of power reserved
bypowermanagementforthechassisinitspowerbudget.Itusesthesevalueswhen
calculating used and available power and when determining whether sufficient
power exists to meet N, N+1, or N+N requirements.
Starting with Junos OS Release 10.2, when power management is configured for
N+N power redundancy, it reserves less power for the chassis so that more power
is available for line cards.

NOTE: The amount of power that power management reserves forthe chassisis a set
value thatdoes not vary depending on chassiscomponents installed. The reserved
power is the same for base and redundant configurations and for switches that do not
have all base chassis components installed.
2. Tothe power reserved forthe chassis, add the power requirements of the line cards.
For line card power requirements, refer to “Power Requirements for EX8208 Switch
Components” on page 111.
For example, for a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards and using N+1
power redundancy, the total power requirement:
= reserved chassis power + 8 (8–port SFP + line cards)
= 1600 W + 8 (450) W
= 1600 W + 3600 W
= 5200 W
For a switchfully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards, using N+N power redundancy,
and running Junos OS Release 10.2, the total power requirement:
= reserved chassis power + 8 (8–port SFP + line cards)
= 1200 W + 8 (450) W
= 1200 W + 3600 W
= 4800 W
