Chapter 6 Maximizing Avaya P460 Availability
Calculating the Power Budget
You can also calculate how many PSUs you need in order to provide redundancy for a specific configuration.
You need to add the power requirements for the I/O modules installed to the base requirement of two Supervisor modules and one Fan module. If the total is less than the power supplied by the number of PSUs installed, an additional PSU provides redundancy.
Table 6.2 shows a sample calculation:
