Can i lower cisco 4506 power consumption.

I just bought old cisco 4506 with SUP4 + 2x48GB  3x48FE poe and have a plan to use it in my small office. (>20 port GB used)
I heard this chassis is power sucker so i need to lower it power consumption. can you tell me what i can do? such as
shutdown module that i doesn't used.
shutown some switchport.
power off 2nd power supply.
or your guys has alternative way ex. Cisco EnergyWise?
Thanks

I'm using EnergyWise.  I don't see any relevance as to WHY you would want to use it.  I also don't see any information about your PoE requirement, hence, no comment on how you'd like to save money by powering down PoE.  
The power requirement for the 4506 would, most likely, be LESS than getting six PoE switches individually. 
I mean, if you don't use PoE, the line cards will only draw what is required.  So trying to save money from energy consumption of the chassis won't make a lot of sense.

  • Cisco 2960 Power Consumption

    Hi,
    I am planning to use above switch for my project.
    Please let me know the exact power consideration for this switch.
    [ 27W (AC) or 130W (AC) (100V x 1.3A) ] Power Consumption = Volt x Current.
    I have below two snaps from your site, hence got confused which value to be considered as power consumption for this switch.

    Case 1:
    Case2:
    What should I consider as power required for Switch ?
    Is it 1.3A @ 110/240 VAC ?
    Or
    Is it 30W ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Amit

  • EF3124 Power Consumption

    I have an aging UPS in a wiring closet supporting a set of EF3124 switches.  I am looking to replace the UPS and am trying to size the capacity to the power draw of the switches.  All the old documentation I have found does not tell me the basic draw of a switch.  Can anyone offer a base power consumption figure?
    Thanks

    I am not quite sure but I believe the switch has a voltage capacity of 100-240V AC. Most of these Linksys switches operate at 2A rating. Kindly try to see the ampere rating usually printer where the power plug is inserted just to be sure. Knowing the formula for Power: 
    Power (P) = Voltage X CurrentP
    Power (P) = 100 X 2A or 240 X 2A = 200watts – 480watts 
    It may vary between 200watts to 480watts of power considering the switch is using 2A of current rating.   
    You might want to try contacting Cisco Tech support to further look into your concern.

  • Power consumption double compared to windows... where could energy be

    I just bought a new Laptop (Acer Aspire 5755g), and first thing after I got it was, of course, installing arch ;-)
    However, I noticed that the energy consumption under Linux is at least about 22 Watts in idle mode, while it uses only 10 Watts on the preinstalled Windows 7. I was wondering where the big power leak could be. That's what I already thought of:
    • I enabled most of the laptop-mode energy saving options, that means ondemand CPU governor, soundcard/ethernet/wireless powersavings, usb autosuspend, hard drive power saving etc...
    • Since it is a nvidia optimus laptop, it has two graphics cards. However, I disabled the nvidia graphics card in the BIOS (what saved about 5 Watts), and I think the remaining "cheap" intel chip should not use that much power.
    • The laptop has an LCD LED display that can be quite bright. However, the 22 Watts are measured when background light is almost at the minimum.
    Are there any ideas, where else the problem could be?
    I know of the kernel power regression discussed on phoronix recently, but can this really double the power consumption?

    Indeed, this and the pcie_aspm option, plus disabling the NVidia card with power management from Bumblebee (extra dangerous BTW, I would not recomend, though I use it) and unloading some modules, took my Alienware M11xR3 consumption down to 7.95W.

  • PowerMac G5 Quad Power Consumption

    Hello
    I purchased a brand new Apple PowerMac from the online store.
    Quad PowerMac G5
    250GB HDD
    1GB RAM
    Standard VGA Card - GeForce 6600
    Can anyone tell the exact power consumption when idle and maximum use.
    Many thanks.
    Haresh Kainth

    Unfortunately, that document only addresses idle
    power consumption, which is of limited use. You might
    be able to estimate monthly energy cost from this, if
    the computer is mostly idle, but you can't tell how
    big a UPS to buy.
    I think this is the link tele_player is referring to.

  • Where can one get power consumption figures for PCI-E Cards?

    as i wrote before im putting together a fairly decent rig, and im doing some heavy duty research into the actual total power requirement for it, using PSUCalc2003.v2 spreadsheet to calculate the total, however ive been unable to get the power consumption figures for my nvidia based graphics accelerator a Gigabyte Tech GV-NX62TC256DS with turbo cache, my guess is that this card is at the lower end of the power consumption spectrum but it would be nice to know the exact figure,
    any ideas on where can i get those figures ?
    thanks.....

    If you buy the 5770 from Apple as an upgrade kit it has the cable(s) - two for the 5870, one for 5770.
    If you bought a mac pro mid-2010 it may very well have come with cable(s), that I have never read or heard from others.
    OWC has not always inicluded cables but has charged extra, as they did with eVGA GTX285 where Apple sold with cables, and buying from OWC added another $30? or more to the cost with cables "extra" is what I recall.

  • Power consumption with 5 Cisco CISCO AP1131G etc.

    Hello everyone
    I need to calculate our Cisco's network equipment's total max power consumption to choose UPS model.
    We have following equipments in house.
    CISCO 1941 integrated service router with WIC-1T-Use serial interface card (it says max 110w)
    CISCO ASA5505 Firewall (it says max 96w)
    Linksys slm224p unknown Wattage with 5 Cisco access Point AP1131G (18w each) connected through PoE ports
    There is spec sheet of slm224P which doesn't specify it's own power consumption. (attached PDF)
    On rear panel of SLM224p it says 3A,  if this is his consumption being connected to 220v power line, it might consume 660W
    but it seems too much for a single switch without PoE ?
    Any idea or comments would be appreciated.

  • Low Power Consumption Thumb Drives (For Aluminum Keyboards)

    Like most folks without an iMac (I have a MacPro), I'd like to plug a thumb drive into the side of the keyboard. But with most of the drives I have I get the "Low Power Notice".
    However, when I plug in an older SanDisk Cruzer Titanium, it works great. The drag is it's only 512MB.
    Does anyone know of lower power consumption thumb drives that will work with the aluminum keyboards?
    Thanks!

    OK, are you plugging your keyboard directly into your MacBook Pro with the notebook plugged in or running on battery? It seems like the keyboard is not receiving enough power or is defective so you just need to narrow down where the issue is.
    My guess is the keyboard is not getting enough power so it in turn cannot power external devices. You might try taking it into an Apple store and speaking to a Genius. If you can't try another keyboard and see how that performs, if you get the same issue then it's not the keyboard it is probably the amount of power being supplied to it.

  • Cisco 2951 router AC-PoE power consumption, meaning of the mention "Platform Only" in the datasheet.

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the power consumption of a Cisco 2951 router with an AC-PoE power supply (without PoE boost).
    In fact in the table (n°7) of the Cisco 2900 Series ISR (G2) datasheet, that sum up the power consumption data for Cisco 2900 series routers there is the line : "Maximum Power with PoE Power Supply (Platform Only) (Watts)", and I would like to know what is exactly the meaning about the mention "Platform Only".
    Thank you for your help, best regards,

    Hi @francois.trarieux,
    This is the maximum power that is consumed exclusively by the router from the PoE PS (Power Supply). The power capacity that the PoE PS gives to other PoE devices (IP Phones, Cameras, APs, etc) is specified in the line below "Maximum End-Point PoE Power  Available from PoE Power Supply (Watts)" of the datasheet.
    HTH.

  • Can't get rid of my high power consumption (Thinkpad X60 Tablet)

    This is really driving me nuts. On Windows 7, I can achieve a power consumption of around 11-12W (with moderate web surfing usage over WLAN and full screen brightness, just Aero turned off).
    On Arch, I can't get below 13W *ever* with full screen brightness, even without WLAN and any kind of computer usage besides running X11. And normal moderate web surfing usage (without Flash, mind you) brings it up to at least 17W.
    The reason for this, I believe, is a really high number of wakeups from idle. powertop shows me at least 40 wakeups per second even when I don't have anything running besides X11. If I have Firefox, Thunderbird and Pidgin running, this climbss to at least 80 wakeups per second. Powertop shows the main cause for the wakeups in both cases to be "acpi" and "extra timer interrupt", as well as "Reschedulin interrupts". With those three applications running, there is additionally a high usage of "hrtimer_start_range_ns (tick_sched_timer)" and "iwl3945" (well, I guess the latter figures for internet applications).
    I'm running laptop-mode-tools for power management, btw.
    Anyone got some idea of what causes those idle wakeups, and how I might be able to fix it? I don't see why Windows 7 should be better than Arch here, the bloated monstrum it is...

    The issue with hrtimer_start_range_ns is existing for a while. Unfortunately it isn't fixed until today. There is an entry in the kernel bugtracker http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14424
    I think this is the main reason for the short battery life of my Samsung NC10 . If you google for it you will find numerous posting in bugtrackers of various distributions but no one seems to really care or know how to fix this?

  • Is there any way an iPhone app developer can implement low power class 3 Bluetooth?

    Is there any way an iPhone app developer can implement low power class 3 Bluetooth?

    Ah-HA!  I knew there had to be a way!
    Not quite the same in 10.6, but close enough to find it:
    It's iTunes>apps, not iTunes>iPhone>apps.  I didn't realize there were different windows.
    Not double-click, but control-click.  Close enough.
    Easy-Peasy, now that you showed me how.

  • 2011 MacBook Pro hard drive power consumption

    Does anyone know the differences in power consumption between the Apple-supplied 750GB 5400rpm HDD, 500GB 7200rpm HDD, and 256GB SSD drives?  I'm currently using a 2011 MacBook Pro with an Apple-supplied 256GB SSD and I'm getting between 5-8 hours of battery life, depending on what I'm doing.  I wish it could get closer to a full 10-hour battery life for longer trips, but I realize there's a price for performance.  What's the best hard drive option to minimize power consumption?  Are there any other tips for increasing battery life?  Does it make a difference if you turn off Bluetooth and WiFi when you know you're not going to be able to use them?  Thank you in advance for your reply.

    Yes, turn Wi-Fi and BT off when not needed. That and your screen are the biggest power consumers. Keep the brightness as low as you can to conserve power.
