Power specifications | A |
NOTE
If any of the following intelligent blades are used,
Table 18 shows the basic power specifications for each power supply.

| 150ms, must not exceed 15A peak. |

The power requirements for a given configuration depend on which blades have been installed in the chassis. Table 19 shows the power draw for the blades that can be used in the Brocade DCX
All numbers for the blades assume that the blade is fully populated with optical transceivers, including QSFPs for the core blades. All ports are Fibre Channel except where noted.
You can calculate your power requirements by combining the power draws for the various blades and fan units in your configuration. While you may use fewer ports in a given blade, it is always safer to use the power requirement of a fully populated blade.
