6513E Power supply recommendations

[dclee]

Just received our new 6513E chassis and I am setting it up in the lab for testing.

For prod we would like to run..

1 maybe 2 6704 10 gig cards

3 - 5 6748 cards

1 6724 SFP card

Sup720 setup, possibly upgrading to Sup32's in a few years

Right now for power supplies, I am using 2 WS-CAC-2500W

But I have to run the supplies in combined mode to get all of the cards online.

What power supply should I be looking to purchase for this chassis ?

Cheers

Dave

Dave,

Use the power calculator. It will give you all the power deatils you need.

Also sup-720 is newer then sup-32. The upgrade wouldd be from sup-720 to sup-720-VS or sup 2T
