C4KX-NM-8SFP+ power requirements

[sandor.agoston]

Hi All,

I'm about to add a new module to a WS-C4500X-16 switch.  There is only 1 power supply installed to the switch: PWR-C4KX-750AC-R

Power used: 540W

I couldn't find any information about how much power needed for a C4KX-NM-8SFP+ module. Do I need an additional PSU?

Another question: does the C4KX-NM-8SFP+ hot swappable? Can I just simply put the new module in to the switch while it is running?

Thanks,

Sandor

hi Sandor,

Here is the show power info for the 8sfp module.  The system only needs 35 watts for the module.

Thanks a lot dhalevi, this is very useful information!

Regarding the C4KX-NM-8SFP+ module....  is it possible to install the module to a live switch, or do I need to shutdown the box first?

Thanks.

Might be late to ask but could you install it to a live switch or not? :) im facing the same issue right now.

Again a bit late and you probably already figured it ;)

Datasheet says the uplink module is hot swappable (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-4500-x-series-switches/data_sheet_c78-696791.html). I never did it, so maybe someone can confirm this?

To remove the module from a live switch you first have to request an OIR (online insertion or removal) as described in the installation notes (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500x/installation/notes/OL_26540.pdf)
