CAUTION

For the DC input circuit to the system of a Brocade VDX 8770-4 (3000W power supply), make sure there is an 80 Amp circuit breaker, minimum -48 VDC, double pole, on the input lugs to the power supply. The input wiring for the connection to the switch should be copper wire, 2 American Wire Guage (AWG), marked VW-1, and rated minimum 90°C.

The power requirements for a given switch configuration depend on which modules have been installed in the switch. Table 3 shows the power consumption for the modules that can be used in the Brocade VDX 8770-4 switch along with the power consumption for the cooling fans.

All numbers for the line cards assume that the card is fully populated with optical transceivers, including QSFPs for the 12x40 GbE line cards. All ports are Ethernet.

You can calculate your power requirements by combining the power demands for the various modules and fan units in your configuration. While you may use fewer ports in a given line card, it is always safer to use the power requirement of a fully populated card.
