B1500A Product Configuration
Upgrade products for the B1500A series
1.4.4 Maximum Module Configuration
The B1500A can contain any combination of the following module. Then the total power
consumption of all SMU modules cannot exceed 84 W.
• Up to 10 MPSMU
• Up to 10 HRSMU
• Up to 4 HPSMU
• Up to 4 MCSMU
• One MFCMU
•Up to 5 HVSPGU
• Up to 5 WGFMU
1.4.5 Limitation by installing B1500AU-030 WGFMU
The following tables show the limitation of installing WGFMU and additional
SMU/CMU/HVSPGU. When WGFMU is installed into B1500A frame, Module
configuration needs to follow all the conditions below.
• Total Number of slots must be under 10 slots
• The maximum SMU/CMU/HVSPGU/WGFMU numbers need to meet the followin
g
fo
rmula due to the limitation of the power consumption
Total number of [Number of Module * Factor for each module] must be unde
r 59.
(In
cluding 59)
• For example, configuration with 5*WGFMU and 5*MPSMU [total factor will
be 60.]
are not
acceptable.
