Providing power to the Brocade DCX 8510-4
Complete the following steps to provide power to the chassis.
DANGER
Use the supplied power cords. Ensure the facility power receptacle is the correct type, supplies
the required voltage, and is properly grounded. (D004)
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 in order to achieve
power supply redundancy.
ATTENTION
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.
4. 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.
ATTENTION
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP addresses are configured.

Port numbering
The Brocade DCX 8510-4 uses the following port numbering method (
). The “bottom” of the blade is the right end as you look at them installed in a Brocade
DCX 8510-4 chassis.
•
FC8-64 port blade — Ports are numbered from 0 through 31 from right to left on the lower set
of ports and 32 through 63 from right to left on the upper set of ports. Trunking groups are
permitted with up to eight ports per group. Trunking groups are as follows: 0-7, 8-15, 16-23,
24-31, 32-39, 40-47, 48-55, and 56-63.
•
FC8-32E port blade — Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from right to left on the lower set
of ports and 16 through 31 from right to left on the upper set of ports.
•
FC8-48E port blade — Ports are numbered from 0 through 23 from right to left on the lower set
of ports and 24 through 47 from right to left on the upper set of ports.
