[Asterisk-Users] How many TDM2400P's will a server take?

[f6hqz-m at hamwlan.net]

A PICMG card equiped with Pentium M CPU permits to reduce dragsticaly the
power consumption.
As this, you can use more power from your PSU for the interface cards.

But, for several TDM2460E/B cards with a heavy traffic charge (many
simultaneous rings), I believe that it could be better to use a second
separate PSU for the cards.
The peak consumption is about 120 W on the 12Vcc branch if all the 24 FXS
are ringing together.
I think that only an industrial PC can provide a so high power level without
risk during years not a small office server.

You must also think to add further fans to cool the box AND the FXS modules
wich have small heatsinks for the "hot" components.

And you should consider how many FXS's you're running. More than one card
with all FXS's will require a turbo fan to cool and if they all ring you'll
need a decent power supply to handle the power draw.

Depends on the specs of the server. For example, a quad Xeon will be
able to service many more interrupts/card/channels than a 500 mHz
Celeron. :-)
