About AC power requirements
When working with an AC-powered VIPRION® platform, it is important to understand the AC power options and requirements.
About AC power cables
The power cable supplied with the hardware is a 220V high-line input cable. This type of cable requires a NEMA 6-20R wall outlet or a region-specific equivalent. Region-specific power cables are available from F5® Networks.
AC power redundancy provisioning
The platform supports one to four AC power supplies. The power supplies are rated for 200VAC to 240VAC input. The system components (fan trays and annunciator cards) consume 800W, and each slot is provisioned to draw up to 600W; therefore, one power supply can support up to three blades with no redundancy. This table shows some of the possible blade and power supply redundancy configurations.
| No redundancy | 1 + 1 redundancy | |
|---|---|---|
| Blade quantity | Supplies (high-line) | Supplies (high-line) |
| 1 (600W) | 1 (2600W available) | 2 (2600W available) |
| 2 (1200W) | 1 (2600W available) | 2 (2600W available) |
| 3 (1800W) | 1 (2600W available) | 2 (2600W available) |
| 4 (2400W) | 2 (5200W available) | 4 (5200W available) |
| 5 (3000W) | 2 (5200W available) | 4 (5200W available) |
| 6 (3600W) | 2 (5200W available) | 4 (5200W available) |
| 7 (4200W) | 2 (5200W available) | 4 (5200W available) |
| 8 (4800W) | 2 (5200W available) | 4 (5200W available) |
AC platform power consumption
The actual amount of power draw from the AC source depends on the type and number of blades, and the power supply AC source voltage and redundancy configuration. This table shows several possible configurations for high-line input voltage (220 VAC) and the typical and maximum power draw measured at the output of the power supply.
F5® recommends that you add 10% to the numbers in the table due to conversion loss in power supplies when you are provisioning power and cooling.
DC power requirements
When working with a DC-powered VIPRION® 4800 Series platform, it is important to understand the DC power options and requirements.
DC power redundancy provisioning
The platform supports one to four DC power supplies. Each slot is provisioned to draw up to 600W; therefore, one power supply can support two blade slots with no redundancy. This table shows some of the possible blade and power supply redundancy configurations.
| Blade quantity | No redundancy | 1 + 1 redundancy |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (600W) | 1 (2600W available) | 2 (2600W available) |
| 2 (1200W) | 1 (2600W available) | 2 (2600W available) |
| 3 (1800W) | 1 (2600W available) | 2 (2600W available) |
| 4 (2400W) | 2 (5200W available) | 4 (5200W available) |
| 5 (3000W) | 2 (5200W available) | 4 (5200W available) |
| 6 (3600W) | 2 (5200W available) | 4 (5200W available) |
| 7 (4200W) | 2 (5200W available) | 4 (5200W available) |
| 8 (4800W) | 2 (5200W available) | 4 (5200W available) |
DC platform power consumption
The actual amount of power draw from the DC power source depends on the type and number of blades and the redundancy configuration. This table shows several possible configurations, and the typical and maximum power draw measured at the output of the power supply (at an input voltage of 48 VDC).
F5® recommends that you add 10% to the numbers in the table due to conversion loss in power supplies when you are provisioning power and cooling.
NEBS-compliant VIPRION system configurations
This table lists available Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS)-compliant VIPRION® system configurations.
For a system to be completely NEBS-compliant, you must use a NEBS-compliant DC-powered chassis and blades.
