Re: [j-nsp] MX240 MX480 and MX960 Power Consumption

The fans are variable speed too. So if your env isn't pushing (cards aren't heating up) the actual load from the fans will be a lot lower on the MX960. An idle unpopulated MX960 (3xSCB, 2xRE, no line cards) uses about 900W. I'd still budget it at the 1425/1500W number though for a base chassis.

Components in the MX240/480 are all identical. The 480 just has physically larger chassis and 2 more power supplies. If these are in a controlled environment and do not require NEBS, ie temp will NOT exceed 40c, then use a recent version of code and use the new power knobs to get the most power

They have a guide to calculating power requirements for these two routers: http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/release-independent/junos/topics/reference/specifications/calculating-power-requirements-mx480.html http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/release-independent/junos/topics/reference/spe

We are evaluating the three Juniper platforms, and trying to understand the power consumption differences between the 3. Space is not really an issue, but overall power consumption is. So if all three have the following cards in the, how much difference will there be in power consumption between t
