2. Calculate the maximum internal power consumption of the entire router by adding in the power
requirements of each line card. See Table 33 on page 99 for a chart of the power needed for line cards.

For example, for an MX10016 with 16 MX10K-LC2101 line cards, the maximum power consumption
at 400-Gigabit Ethernet mode is:
16 * 1425 W= 22800 W
