Re: OT:6500 Combined power question

A co-worker and I were discussing this very thing this morning.
Neither of us are sure what happens, though. I think the switch will
reload and bring up line cards in order until it runs out of power. My
co-worker thinks that it would probably just start shutting down line
cards until it had enough power, but it wouldn't reboot. I really have
no idea which actually happens, though. Hopefully someone here will
know. I've booted up switches that didn't have enough power, but I
don't recall pulling a power supply in a live, underpowered chassis
before.
