How to Calculate the Power Consumpon of Your MX10004 Router Conguraon  |  90
How to Calculate the Number of Power Supplies Required for Your MX10004 Conguraon  |  92
Use the informaon in this topic to calculate power requirements of your MX10004 conguraon. You
also need to determine the number of power supplies required for dierent MX10004 router
conguraons.
CAUTION: To ensure adequate power and to avoid triggering an alarm, we recommend
that you maintain 
n
+1 power supplies in your router at all mes. Replace failed power
supplies immediately to prevent unexpected failures.
If a new line card is installed in an operaonal router, power management does not
power on the line card if the increased power demand exceeds the total available
power, including redundant power. If redundant power is used to power on the line
card, a minor alarm is raised. The minor alarm becomes a major alarm if the condion is
not corrected.
