Power Calculation
For the NCS 2015 shelf that is powered by the NCS4K-DC-PSU-V1 power module, the controller card
calculates the total power consumption of the shelf, which is displayed in the Provisioning > Power Monitor
tab in CTC. For the power calculation to function properly ensure that there is no MEA alarm on any card.
The total power consumption value for the shelf is computed by aggregating the power consumption values
of individual cards and ancillary units installed or pre-provisioned in the shelf. During power calculation,
certain wattage is always reserved for ancillary units like the ECU, fan tray, and standby controller card,
irrespective of whether they are present in the shelf or not. The reserved power for the NCS 2015 DC shelf
with a TNCS controller card is 720 W.
