DANGER

If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the router, make sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the router.

For information about powering on the system, refer to “Activating the power source” on page 228.

Connecting DC power

You can provide DC power for the Brocade MLX-4 router by installing a DC-to-DC power supply. The DC-to-DC supply converts 48V-DC input from a power sou ce to 12V-DC for your router.

DANGER

The procedure in this section is for qualified service personnel.

NOTE

Because there are multiple power supply vendors, the LED layout on your DC power supply may differ from what is shown in Figure 115. However, the LED functions are identical.
