Hello Jonas,

From the data sheet:

As part of the Cisco 7600 Series, the Cisco 7609-S Router is an enhancement on the highly successful 9-slot chassis (Cisco 7609). This enhanced chassis delivers numerous design improvements, including:

• Improved failover mechanisms in the hardware which when paired with the proper Cisco IOS® Software image, can achieve 100 ms failover

• Ability to deliver higher power of up to 750W per slot

• Redundant high-speed fan tray module with five speeds on a front-to-back airflow design

• Better thermal flow measurement and management

The power supplies supported on the Cisco 7609-S are the 4000W, 6000W (AC and DC), and 3000W AC power supplies (refer to Table 1).

Also, here are the data sheets for both 7609 and 7609-S
