Please don't tell that to our 7600s...

system power redundancy mode = redundant
system power total =     1370.04 Watts (32.62 Amps @ 42V)
system power used =       773.64 Watts (18.42 Amps @ 42V)

(This is a 7603, but e.g. for the 7604, the power requirements for the
highspeed fan module is even lower, 54 Watts)

Originally, this box came with 900W PSUs.  Which is plenty, given that
the Sup720-3B only needs 300W.

So this whole thread is confusing me.  What are you doing to your modules
that a 6748 + Sup720 will need 3000W?  (PoE maybe?)
