Power Consumption and Unit Weight Report

 Cisco ONP Release 5.2

Now, you can generate the power consumption and unit weight report for each product ID (PID). In the layout tab, you can see the power consumption and unit weight values and export them into Excel as a report for a single site or all sites. With prior knowledge of power consumption and weight details for each PID, you can plan and design an energy-efficient network.

The new options that allow you to view and export the reports are:

  • Show Typical Power Consumption

  • Show Max Power Consumption

  • Show Unit Weight

  • Power Consumption & Weight

The Power Consumption and Unit Weight report includes power consumption and weight details of cards and shelves in each individual site. To view the Power Consumption and Unit Weight of each site, perform the following steps.


Remember

The power consumption of the Power Supply Unit (PSU) is not included in the total power consumption for the NCS 1001, NCS 1010, NCS 1014, and NCS 1020 chassis. To determine the total power consumption for these chassis, add eight percent of the aggregated power consumption of all the cards inside the chassis to cover the PSU power consumption.
