	We've been told by our account team that we need to upgrade
the fan tray and the power supplies in order to be able to fully
populate the box.  Not doing so means at a certain point we will
be forced to do it based on linecard power consumption.  They
had a nice matrix avaiable for us to review to determine
when it would be necessary to upgrade.

	power over ethernet tends to be a seperate module
that goes into that linecard.
