NOTE

The maximum power consumption table reflects the measured maximum power consumption of different line card types. The chassis, cooling system, power distribution, as well as the algorithm used in the system software for determining the power requirements are based on a conservative requirement of 245W per line card, regardless of the actual mix of line card types in a given chassis.
