Hello DanielHahl,

Here is the link to the support matrix for the MDS9000 series.

Hi Daniel,

 

Even though the physical matrix might be ok, but the clue would be the 6 power supplies. If they are able to supply enough power for a fully populated chassis.

You need to calculate if the 6 power supplies are enough. Example of that on how to calculate you can find in an article which is listing a power calculation for a MDS9513, that should give you an example for your 9710. You should be able to read the article when you are logged into your DELL account:

Connectrix - MDS Series Cisco: Running the show environment power command output reports there is not enough power available to fully populate all slots with modules in a MDS9513 Switch chassis000044129 : https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000044129/connectrix-mds-series-cisco-running-the-show-environment-power-command-output-reports-there-is-not-enough-power-available-to-fully-populate-all-slots-with-modules-in-a-mds9513-switch-chassis

 

Once you calculated you can order new power supplies with the line card modules, to supply enough power.

For further assistance I would refer to the local support team to assist with the SAN refresh.

 

Regards,
