I'm finding that the spec sheet for an RSP720-3CXL says 310W for the
supervisor itself.
Assuming a dual supervisor configuration in a 7604 or 7606, has anyone put
one on a watt meter and measured its actual power consumption?
Example:
7604S chassis with dual 2700W DC power - chassis and fans use how much
power?
2 x RSP720-3CXL at 310W each
WS-X6704 with DFC4 - ???W each
Way too much, is the simple answer.
I did have a 7604 (non-S) with the same PSUs, 1x SUP720-3BXL, 1x
WS-X6724-SFP and 1x WS-X6708-3CXL was drawing near 2kW.
It's not healthy, please consider how much you'll spend in electricity
vs. something else. For example, the ASR9001 uses a 5th of the power.
Cisco do also have a power calculator, too. It's conservative but not
overly so:
Yes, very much agreed, part of the reason why I'm looking to do the watts
per linecard calculation is to illustrate how it's not healthy except in
certain places. As an edge aggregation device in a very small city in a
rural western US state where the electricity is 6 cents/kWh, the 24x7 load
from a 7604 that eats 950W with supervisors and a 6724SFP linecard is not
so terrible. In this case the colo space for a 42U rack is sometimes
literally free.
In a IX point/datacenter/colocation environment where rack and power costs
real money, not so much.

2 x ( 4 x 10Gig) linecards is really as fast as it goes no over-subscribed.
It's been rather a long time or possibly never since that platform was
cutting edge on a PPS/Watt basis.
Today at roughly double the power consumpution per slot you can have
between 16 and 36 hundred gig ports or 48 x 10gig at half the power
consumption.
+1 for the asr9001 route.
For the record though see below, I've tried to supply you figures from
different model 7600s but we mostly hvae 7606-S's. These are all
single SUP/RSPsystems.
Cheers,
James.
