  • Page 71: A Appendix: Power Supply & Consumption

    MXC-2300 Appendix A Power Supply & Consump- tion Information in this Appendix is for power budget planning and design purposes only. Actual power consumption may differ based on final application. NOTE: NOTE: A.1 Power Consumption Reference Power consumption as follows is based on lab data in which 24V DC is applied and current is measured by the DC power supply.

  • Page 72: Power Supply Reference

    Sufficient power supply for the entire system is required to meet these specifications. At least 100W at 24V input is recommended. NOTE: NOTE: Heat generated by add-on PCI/PCIe adapters affects thermal stability. Additional heat dissipa- tion is required when the system operates at high temperatures or in harsh environments with add-on adapters.
