  • 1.  High capacity SRX5800 is any different?

    What really is the difference between the normal SRX5800 and the high-capacity SRX5800 besides the power capacity??

    I can't find any differnece in the performance of the two, or is there a plan to give a better performance for the high-capacity one on future OSs?  Can anyone tell??

    I believe the only difference is the power supplies.  The lower-capacity model did not support N+N redunadncy for power as 3 power-supplies were required to power the unit, with a fourth to provide power-supply redundancy.  With the high-capacity power supplies, the unit was fully N+N redundant with two power supplies connected to each power feed.  From the hardware guide:

     

    • Standard-capacity power supplies provide 1700 W of power each. Three
    standard-capacity power supplies are required, and you can install a fourth for
    redundancy.


    • High-capacity power supplies provide 4100 W of power each. Two high-capacity power
    supplies are required, and you can install four for redundancy.

     

    I do not believe there are any other components (RE, SPC, IOC, etc.) which have been changed.
