Estimating Power Requirements 
Use the following formula to estimate total power consumption for each deployed chassis.  
(Total Application Card Max Power Load) + (Total Line Card Max Power Load) + (Chassis Max Power Load) 
Example 
The calculation for estimating the power required for an ASR 5000 installation with 3 PSCs, 2 SMCs, 2 SPIOs, 2 RCCs, 
and 4 Ethernet 1000 line cards would be: 
(250W x 3) + (130W x 2) + ((15W x 2) + (20W x 2) + (13.5W x 4)) + 800W = 1934W
