Power specifications

A

NOTE

If any of the following intelligent blades are used, 200-240 VAC is required: FS8-18, FX8-24.

Table 18 shows the basic power specifications for each power supply.

TABLE.18 Power specifications

SpecificationValue

Input voltage

Range: 85-264 VAC Auto-volt, Nominal: 100-240 VAC.

 

 

Input frequency

Range: 47-63 Hz; Nominal: 50-60 Hz.

 

 

Inrush current

Limited to 60A peak for any initial current surge or spike of 10ms or less at

 

either cold or warm start. Any additional inrush current surges or spikes in

 

the form of AC cycles or multiple AC cycles greater than 10ms, and less than

 

150ms, must not exceed 15A peak.

 

 

Power supply output (each)

Low line (85-132 VAC), 1000W; High line (180-264 VAC), 2000W.

 

 

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 8510-4 chassis along with the power draw for the cooling fans.

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.
