1.5.3 Basic Electrical Characteristics
Refer to T able 1-3 for the basic electrical characteristics.
1.5.4 Power Budget
Refer to T able 1-4 for the power of the individual modules in the MSS-8 shelf, and ODU. To
determine the total power of the MSS-8 shelf, multiply the power of each individual mod-
ule by the number of that module installed in the shelf and add the resulting products. The
sum is the total power.
