Providing power to the Brocade DCX 8510-8 Backbone
For this procedure, refer to Power specifications on page 131 for power supply requirements for your
chassis.
Complete the following steps to provide power to the chassis.
DANGER
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord
supplied with the device to connect it to the power source.
1. Connect the AC power cords to the power supply assemblies. Two or four power cords are required
depending on electrical service and if the high availability option is selected.
2. Connect the power cords to a power source with voltage of 200 to 240 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz (normally
two power cords or as many as four) or optionally to a power source with voltage of 110 to 120 VAC,
47 to 63 Hz (up to four power cords).
NOTE
Use of the high-voltage line (200 to 240 VAC) is highly recommended because of better power-
conversion efficiency. A DCX 8510-8 chassis fully loaded with 16 Gbps port blades (512 ports total)
should be supplied with four power supplies connected to 200-240 VAC lines.
3. Switch the AC power switches on the power supplies to I. The AC power switches light green when
switched on and power is supplied.
The Brocade DCX 8510-8 performs a power-on self-test (POST) each time it is powered on. POST
takes approximately 10 minutes and is complete when the indicator light activity displays the
operational state. You can bypass POST by using the fastBoot command. You can also disable
POST for successive reboots on the Brocade DCX 8510-8 using the diagDisablePost command.
NOTE
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP addresses are configured.
For information about LED patterns, refer to Monitoring System Components on page 47.
Port numbering
The Brocade DCX 8510-8 uses the following port numbering method ( Port Numbering Template on
