Appendix D Technical Specifications
Power Specifications for the Cisco MDS 9506 Director
Component Power Requirements and Heat Dissipation for the Cisco MDS 9506
Director
When sizing the air-conditioning requirements for an installation, consider heat dissipation. The power
and heat associated with a Cisco MDS 9506 Director varies depending upon the following:
• Power supply type
• Switching module type and number of switching modules installed
• Average switching traffic levels
Table D-16 and Table D-17 list the AC and DC power requirements and heat dissipation for the
components of the Cisco MDS 9506 Director.
Note Unless noted otherwise, the information listed in Table D-16 and Table D-17 is based on worst-case
conditions. Typical numbers are approximately 30 percent below the numbers listed here.
