Maximum Module Configuration
The total power consumption of all SMU modules cannot exceed 84 W. Under this rule,
the B1500A can contain any combination of the following SMUs:
– Up to 10 MPSMUs
– Up to 10 HRSMUs
– Up to 4 HPSMUs
– Up to 4 MCSMUs
Only one single-slot MFCMU can be installed per B1500A mainframe. Up to five single-
slot HV-SPGUs can be installed per mainframe. Up to five single-slot WGFMUs can be
installed per mainframe.
When one or more WGFMU modules are installed in the B1500A mainframe, the
following table applies. Multiply the values given below by the number of installed
modules of that type and add the products together. The sum of the products must be
less than or equal to 59 for the configuration to be permissible.
