6509 PSU Query

Hello All,

I got the following message when I did a SHOW POWER on our 6509:

"Note: PS2 capacity is limited to 2940.00 Watts (70.00 Amps @ 42V)

when PS1 is not present"

The PSUs are running in redundant mode.

Is this something I should worry about?

ukcap04-133-c65-ios#show power

system power redundancy mode = redundant

system power total = 3780.00 Watts (90.00 Amps @ 42V)

system power used = 1215.48 Watts (28.94 Amps @ 42V)

system power available = 2564.52 Watts (61.06 Amps @ 42V)

If you have 2 x 4000W and the power supply in bay #1 goes down, then the 4000W PSU in bay #2 will NOT be able to drive the full 4000W power - rather it will be limited to about 3000W. I dont know the exact

engineering reasons behind this but do know that this is not a bug and it is doing the right thing. Note the line in the output below which

highlights this...

Yes, this is the correct behavior of the router only.No need to worry about this.This is due to the limitation of the chassis (not power supply) New E-series chasses have higher power limit.
