Cisco 7600 Series Router Installation Guide

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirements
Heat dissipation is an important consideration for sizing the air-conditioning requirements for an
installation. The power and heat associated with a Cisco
7600 series router varies based upon these
considerations:
• Power supply type
• Module types and quantities
• Average traffic levels
Unless otherwise noted, the information in Table 2-3 through Table 2-19 assumes worst-case conditions
(with GBICs and port adapters installed, if applicable), so typical numbers are approximately 30 percent
below the numbers listed here. See
Table 2-20 for a sample calculation of a router configuration.
This section provides the power and heat numbers for the Cisco 7600 series chassis and modules. The
following power requirements and heat dissipation tables are provided:
• Chassis and fan trays—Table 2-3
• Supervisor engines—Table 2-4
• Policy Feature Cards (PFCs)—Table 2-5
• Distributed Forwarding Cards (DFCs)—Table 2-6
• Switch fabric modules—Table 2-7
• 10-Gigabit Ethernet modules—Table 2-8
• Gigabit Ethernet modules—Table 2-9
• 10/100/1000 Ethernet modules—Table 2-10
• Fast Ethernet switching modules—Table 2-11
• 10/100 Ethernet switching modules—Table 2-12
• 10BASE Ethernet switching modules—Table 2-13
• FlexWAN and Enhanced FlexWAN modules—Table 2-14
• Service modules—Table 2-15
• SPA Interface Processors (SIPs)—Table 2-16
