[AusNOG] Powering a Cisco Nexus 7018

[Damien Morris]

Hi list,

Has anyone had experience with these (or similar) brutes of switches..? Specifically, running and distributing power into them.

They have several PSUs per chassis with multiple inputs per PSU, despite not needing anywhere near that much juice unless really fully loaded (I'd imagine).

Do people generally run a couple (2-4 from different feeds) 20-30A circuits per chassis and distribute it themselves? Using what kinda PDU gear?

All feedback/advice/war stories welcome, looking to avoid having to force salespeople onto pedal powered generators.

Thanks,
Damien.
