3. Calculate the number of power supplies (N) required to meet the total power
requirement by dividing the total power requirement by the output wattage of one
power supply and then rounding up.
NOTE: If the input is high-voltage line (200–220 VAC), the output wattage of a 2000
W AC power supply is 2000 W.
If the input is low-voltage line (100–120 VAC), the output wattage of a 2000 W AC
power supply is 1200 W.
For example, for a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards and using N+1
power redundancy with high-voltage line input , the required power supplies (N):
= (total power requirement) / (output wattage of power supply)
= (5200 W) / (2000 W)
= 2.6
= 3 (rounded up)
For a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards, using N+N power redundancy
with high-voltage line input, and running Junos OS Release 10.2, the required power
supplies (N):
= (total power requirement) / (output wattage of power supply)
= (4800 W) / (2000 W)
= 2.4
= 3 (rounded up)
4. Addthenumberofpowersuppliesneededtoachievetherequiredpowerredundancy:
To achieve N+1 power redundancy, add a single power supply.
For example, for a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards and using
high-voltage line input, the total number of power supplies:
= N + 1
= 3 + 1
= 4
To achieve N+N power redundancy, add N power supplies.
For example, for a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards and using
high-voltage line input, the total number of power supplies:
= N + N
= 3 + 3
= 6
