Run this command and compare outputs:

sh power inline

You should see something similar to the below output - and check what
the 1) Available Watts are 2) Used Watts and 3) How much Watts per
device is in use in the Power column.

Available:370.0(w) Used:63.0(w) Remaining:307.0(w)

Interface Admin Oper Power Device Class Max
                             (Watts)
--------- ------ ---------- ------- ------------------- ----- ----
Fa0/1 auto off 0.0 n/a n/a 15.4
Fa0/2 auto on 6.3 IP Phone 7960 n/a 15.4
Fa0/3 auto on 6.3 IP Phone 7960 n/a 15.4
Fa0/4 auto off 0.0 n/a n/a 15.4
Fa0/5 auto on 6.3 IP Phone 7960 n/a 15.4
Fa0/6 auto off 0.0 n/a n/a 15.4
Fa0/7 auto on 6.3 IP Phone 7960 n/a 15.4
Fa0/8 auto off 0.0 n/a n/a 15.4
Fa0/9 auto on 6.3 IP Phone 7960 n/a 15.4
Fa0/10 auto off 0.0 n/a n/a 15.4
Fa0/11 auto on 6.3 IP Phone 7960 n/a 15.4
Fa0/12 auto off 0.0 n/a n/a 15.4
Fa0/13 auto on 6.3 IP Phone 7960 n/a 15.4
Fa0/14 auto off 0.0 n/a n/a 15.4

The 7941, 7961 support both Cisco Inline Power which is 6.3 watts AND
also the 802.3af standard which is 15.4 Watts.
I believe that your phones will display using 15.4 or lesser watts -
but more than 6.3 watts.
Keep in mind as someone mentioned your total power budget on that
switch is 370 watts.

So you may need to limit it to each port as someone mentioned using
this command:
power inline consumption 6300

Having never needed to limit the power on a 7941 and so thus not
tested it - I don't know exactly what will happen - you may have
interesting results - such as that your BLP button led's may not
light - or screen brightness may be at 50% as is the case on the 7970's.

Let us know!
