Table 73 on page 139 lists the power supplies, their maximumoutput power,and unused
power (or a power deficit). See “DC Power Supply Electrical Specifications for the
MX240 Router” on page 143 and “AC Power Supply Electrical Specifications for the
MX240 Router” on page 127 for more information about the MX240 power supply
electrical specifications.

For this configuration, output power excluding the cooling system is 1400 W.
3. Calculate input power. In this step, the input power requirements for the example
configuration are calculated. To do this, divide the total output requirement by the
efficiency of the power supply as shown in Table 74 on page 139.

For this configuration, total power is 1485 W.
4. Calculate thermal output (BTUs). To calculate this, multiply the input power
requirement (in watts) by 3.41. See Table 75 on page 140.
