Nexus 7000 power

Can anyone shed some light on how to estimate power draw on N7K when all interfaces are up on a module? Here's an output from my n7k:

Power Supply:
Voltage: 50 Volts
Power                              Actual        Total

N/A - Per module power not available


Power Usage Summary:
--------------------
Power Supply redundancy mode (configured)              Redundant  
Power Supply redundancy mode (operational)             Redundant 

Total Power Capacity (based on configured mode)               9000 W
Total Power of all Inputs (cumulative)                       18000 W
Total Power Output (actual draw)                              1869 W
Total Power Allocated (budget)                                4250 W
Total Power Available for additional modules                  4750 W




Side A is connected to power grid
Side B is connected to UPS

The switch is not in production yet and there are only a few interfaces connected and in up state.
If I turn off power grid, the UPS shows load increase from 40% to 80% (there are two Nexus 7000 switches on UPS)
I'm worried that UPS won't be able to handle the load when all interfaces are up and if power grid fails. 

I would like to estimate how much additional A/W will be drawn if all interfaces on
modules 1, 2, 7 and 10 are up and connected. I would like to use this information to
determine if we need to upgrade our UPS.

Hi Roman,

Check power requirement chart @ http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps9441/ps9402/ps9512/Data_Sheet_C78-437759.html

, or use power calculator to estimate power with fully populated modules.

HTH,
