Providing power to the Brocade DCX 8510-8

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 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).
ATTENTION
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 (384 ports total) should be supplied with four
power supplies connected to 200-240 VAC lines.
3. Turn 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 8510-8 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.
ATTENTION
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP addresses are configured.

Managing cables

The cable management comb is attached to the chassis under the chassis door and allows for simple cable
management. The comb can be installed without service disruption.
Route the cables along the front of the blades to keep LEDs visible. Leave at least one meter of slack for each fiber
optic cable to provide room to remove and replace blades.
ATTENTION
The minimum radius to which a 50 micron cable should be bent under full tensile load is 2 in. For a cable under no
tensile load, that minimum is 1.2 in.
Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways, for example, using cable channels on the sides of the
cabinet or patch panels to minimize cable management. Following is a list of recommendations:
