Providing power to the Brocade DCX 8510-4 Backbone
on page 117 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 two AC power cords to the two power supplies.
2. Connect the power cords to a power source with voltage of 200 to 240 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz or optionally
to a power source with voltage of 110 to 120 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz. If using any application blades in the
chassis, the 200 to 240 VAC option is necessary to achieve power supply redundancy.
NOTE
Use of the high-voltage line (200 to 240 VAC) is highly recommended because of better power-
conversion efficiency. For a fully-loaded DCX 8510-4, 200 to 240 VAC is required for high availability
(ability to hot swap a failed power supply without affecting system operation).
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 8510-4 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 8510-4 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
on page 45.
Port numbering
