power supply is operating. If the Brocade DCX 8510-4 is supplied with 110 VAC (nominal), there is a
risk of some blades being powered off for lack of power during the replacement. This is why Brocade
always recommends using 220 VAC (nominal). Brocade DCX 8510-4 power supplies are 100-240
VAC, autosensing.
Time and items required

filler panel is required for the power supply replacement.
