   Example:

        900 MS System with 2 half height, 2 repeaters
        (32 port), 1 DEFMM FO module and a multiport bridge

     need 2 power supplies for this config
     need 3 total if N+1 system is desired.


  NOTES: (Good guesses for configs): 

    One supply is enough for any system with half-height modules
    if the number of AUIs used is 7 or less.

    Two supplies are generally needed when more than 1 or 2 full-height
    modules are used.

    Three supplies will work for any configuration of existing modules,
    except a hub full of the DEFBA(WGE200),or the DEBMP(WGE100) and the
    fourth PS is used for N+1 redundancy.

    I have configured a DEChub 900 with one DETMM, one DEFBA and six DSRVZ.
    Using the numbers from 4.0, I should only nees two power supplies, or 3
    for N+1. However, when I power it up, it requires three power supplies
    for total operation, or 4 for N+1. Have some of the numbers changed, or
    are some of my components drawing more current that they should?

4.3Could be your HUB doesn't have latest code...NETCAD::BATTERSBYFri Feb 03 1995 14:277
    It seems that I recall hearing from one of the MAM guru's here
    that there are differences in how the MAM calculates power allocation
    depending on whether it has wave 2 code (3.1) compared to older
    rev code, so you might want to make sure you have the current
    shipping rev of MAM code in your HUB.

4.4GRANPA::DFAUSTBad Things, man...Fri Feb 03 1995 14:314
    Nope, that's not it. I'm running 3.1 on the Hub.

4.5OK - ONE PossibilityCONSLT::BUZZELLWed Feb 08 1995 12:3518
    
         Just tried your configuration in the lab. It works as expected
    with 2 power supplies. There is 5 watts still available.
    
         I suspect that in handling or installation some pins may have
    been bent on 1 of the supplies. The AC and DC OK lights will still
    come on but the hub manager won't recognize the power. You can test
    this even in a production state by turning off one supply and see if
    the available power changes. If it does then turn that supply back on
    and turn the next 1 off. Look for the state not to change when you 
    turn one of them off. If that happens you can remove it to check it
    without affecting operations.
    
         That said I will leave it to your judgement whether the one less
    supply is really in your customers best interest. In this config you
    are using 275 of 280 available watts or 98.2% of available. Now it
    doesn't leave much margin for error with even a small variance.
    
4.6Oops forgotCONSLT::BUZZELLWed Feb 08 1995 12:376
    
         One thing I forgot to mention in the last note always wait at
    least 10 seconds between each instance of turning on and off to
    allow the power to stabilize.
    
    
4.7What about power consumption of mod PMDs?36932::STUARTScott Stuart - NPB SE - 410.315.9954Wed Mar 22 1995 11:557
    The DEF6X states 42.5 watts - what is the effect of having 6 * DEFXM or 
    in other words a DEF6M.
    
    So do the PMDs take any additonal power or does the 42.5 include them?
    
    thanks

    >So do the PMDs take any additonal power or does the 42.5 include them?
    
    Well, I plugged a DEF6X into an empty backplane which had 125w
    available, and when the concentrator came up there were 77.5
    available, so the concentrator with 6 MIC PMDs uses 47.5w.

    Is there an updated power use table for the newly announced DEChub
    products, like the port switch modules and the new FDDI concentrator?
    I'm trying to work out a config and would like to properly config the
    PS.

   NOTE: All modules consume some minimum of 12volts, modules which
         need 12 volts for AUI connections generate the 12 from the
         15 volt power.  You do not need to consider this in power
         consumption for each module. The 5 and 15 volts are all that is
         needed.


    Table A-8 Electrical Specs from DEChub manual
    ----------------------------
    input voltage   - 88 to 264 volts auto-ranging
    line freq       - 50 to 60 hz
    input current   - less than 10 amps
    max heat diss   - 730w
    max input power - 1000VA
    consumption

   (Another way to guage is is EACH power supply delivers 165 Watts. 3
    power supplies yields 495 watts. 495 watts at 120volts = 4.125Amps
    or thereabouts as a rule of thumb)


For BTU output:

    Conversion factor of watts to BTU/hr = 3.41443

    Multiply the above by total watts output to get BTU/Hour

Some BTU output calculated is:

  900hub     15.0W    x   3.41443 (BTU/hr)/W  =  51 BTU/hr

  NOTES: (Good guesses for configs): 

    One supply is enough for any system with half-height modules
    if the number of AUIs used is 7 or less.

    Two supplies are generally needed when more than 1 or 2 full-height
    modules are used.

Note that if you want to you can power the DEChub from 48V externally.

The external 48V Input characteristics for a DEChub900 system are as follows:
     
    Min Voltage = 40 VDC
    Max Voltage = 54 VDC
    Maximum Input Ripple Voltage = 1.0 Vrms
    Max current (@40 VDC) = 4.6 Arms
    
The environmental specification for the DEChub900 system operating from
a 48 VDC input is no different than that of an AC powered DEChub900
system (40 degrees C maximum ambient temperature).

The DEChub900 power system is designed to run off either AC line
or 48v DC.  This is accomplished by a two stage power supply 
design, as shown below.
    
                |----------------|
    AC Line --->| AC/DC-+--DC/DC |---> DC Outputs
                |       |        |--->
                |-------|--------|
                        |
                        ^
                       48 V
    
The DC/DC section of the supply will accept either input (AC/DC output
or ext 48V).  The method we chose to always use AC when it's available is
to have the AC/DC output be at 50V and the ext 48V supply at a lower 
voltage (say 48V).  Therefore, when both the ext 48V and AC are 
operational, the system will use AC power.  
    
A couple of observations:
    
1.  An external conditioner will be required to ensure that the 
    external 48V remains below 50V.  Typical US 48V telco system
    vary from 40-60 volts.  Once the system detects loss of AC
    (ie, backup mode), this voltage can rise to 54 volts.
    
2.  If a user wants to solely run off 48 V (that is, no AC presnt)  
    a external supply can be used that meets the specs of reply .1.

    Not precisely true.  For example, the DETMI consumes zero 12V current.
    
    Also, this is not a good blanket statement because typical new designs
    will not consume 12V current (because the 12V Flash programming supply
    is not needed on the new generation of Flash devices we will be using).
    
    The DEFMI does not generate the 12V AUI current from the 15V supply...
    it cannot because it does not have access to the 15V supply.  It takes
    the AUI current directly from the hub.
                          
4.13just consider the �5v anyway...ACIS01::JONESAlf �Tue Jun 20 1995 23:267
    It doesn't matter, because according to Mike Soha the �5 volt ratings
    will take that into account - so just deal with them and you don't need
    to think of the 12 volt rating.

4.14NETCAD::HERTZBERGHistory: Love it or Leave it!Wed Jun 21 1995 11:549
    There is no -5V rating, so I'm not sure what you're talking about there.  
    I would agree, however, that the 12V current rating of a module is not
    generally something which needs alot of attention paid to it... in
    99.9% of the cases, it is insignificantly small and is accounted for in
    the 15V power system design.
    
    I was just trying to give precise information.

   NOTE: Since the power supplies can current share on their outputs
         a configuration must be checked for maximum 5 and 15 Volt
         current usage AND also the maximum power (W).
 
   NOTE: All modules consume some minimum of 12volts, modules which
         need 12 volts for AUI connections generate the 12 from the
         15 volt power.  You do not need to consider this in power
         consumption for each module. The 5 and 15 volts are all that is
         needed.


    Table A-8 Electrical Specs from DEChub manual
    ----------------------------
    input voltage   - 88 to 264 volts auto-ranging
    line freq       - 50 to 60 hz
    input current   - less than 10 amps
    max heat diss   - 730w
    max input power - 1000VA
    consumption

   (Another way to guage is is EACH power supply delivers 165 Watts. 3
    power supplies yields 495 watts. 495 watts at 120volts = 4.125Amps
    or thereabouts as a rule of thumb)


For BTU output:

    Conversion factor of watts to BTU/hr = 3.41443

    Multiply the above by total watts output to get BTU/Hour

Some BTU output calculated is:

  900hub     15.0W    x   3.41443 (BTU/hr)/W  =  51 BTU/hr

     need 2 power supplies for this config
     need 3 total if N+1 system is desired.


  NOTES: (Good guesses for configs): 

    One supply is enough for any system with half-height modules
    if the number of AUIs used is 7 or less.

    Two supplies are generally needed when more than 1 or 2 full-height
    modules are used.

    Three supplies will work for any configuration of existing modules,
    except a hub full of the DEFBA(WGE200),or the DEBMP(WGE100) and the
    fourth PS is used for N+1 redundancy.

Note that if you want to you can power the DEChub from 48V externally.

The external 48V Input characteristics for a DEChub900 system are as follows:
     
    Min Voltage = 40 VDC
    Max Voltage = 54 VDC
    Maximum Input Ripple Voltage = 1.0 Vrms
    Max current (@40 VDC) = 4.6 Arms
    
The environmental specification for the DEChub900 system operating from
a 48 VDC input is no different than that of an AC powered DEChub900
system (40 degrees C maximum ambient temperature).

The DEChub900 power system is designed to run off either AC line
or 48v DC.  This is accomplished by a two stage power supply 
design, as shown below.
    
                |----------------|
    AC Line --->| AC/DC-+--DC/DC |---> DC Outputs
                |       |        |--->
                |-------|--------|
                        |
                        ^
                       48 V
    
The DC/DC section of the supply will accept either input (AC/DC output
or ext 48V).  The method we chose to always use AC when it's available is
to have the AC/DC output be at 50V and the ext 48V supply at a lower 
voltage (say 48V).  Therefore, when both the ext 48V and AC are 
operational, the system will use AC power.  
    
A couple of observations:
    
1.  An external conditioner will be required to ensure that the 
    external 48V remains below 50V.  Typical US 48V telco system
    vary from 40-60 volts.  Once the system detects loss of AC
    (ie, backup mode), this voltage can rise to 54 volts.
    
2.  If a user wants to solely run off 48 V (that is, no AC presnt)  
    a external supply can be used that meets the specs.

Amp Part # 748474-1 used to connect to the hub,  
           (mates with the AMP 1-748481-5 on the base hub)
           These are high density mini sub-D with 26 connectors.

Use AWG22 wire to connect!  This is imperative as any other guage will not 
support the current load over an extended period of time:

    Pins 7,8,9 and 16 to +48
    Pins 17,18,24,25,26 to -48

You should use one 48V source and tie all the +48V pins together and all
the -48V pins together.

Do not connect any other pins than the �48 volt pins!  They had other uses 
planned and are interconnected with hub management.  Connecting them could 
damage the hub manager and/or fail the hub!

The exact pinouts are (ignore any non 48V ones for your purposes):

    I needed to do a presentation on DEChub power consumption, so I
    converted Jon's text file to a MS-Word doc (v6.0).
    
    It's at TOOHOT::DHPWR.DOC if anyone would like a copy.
    
    Thanks Jon, for all your efforts in putting the text file together and
    keeping them updated.
