Brocade Communications Systems Comprehensive Guide to Power Demand and Supply for DCX Brocade Hardware

A Power cords

TABLE 19 Power demands per component (Continued)

Blade or fan	Maximum	Type of Blade	Ports per blade	Number of blades	Total ports per chassis
units	Power Draw			permitted in chassis
	(Watts)
FX8-24	250	Extension	12 8 Gbps SFP+	up to 4	48 8 Gbps
		blade	10 1 Gbps Ethernet		40 1 Gbps Ethernet
			2 10 Gbps Ethernet		8 10 Gbps Ethernet
Fan unit	90	NA	NA	2 fans per chassis	NA

Power supply redundancy is key to your installation, so any demand must be met with twice the capacity. See Table 20 for power supply requirements for specific demand ranges.

TABLE 20	Power supply requirements
Demand		power supplies @ 110	power supplies @ 220
		VAC (nominal)	VAC (nominal)
up to 1000W		2	2
1000W-2000W		NA - cannot achieve	2
		redundancy
greater than 2000W		NA - cannot achieve	NA - cannot achieve
		redundancy	redundancy

In addition to these tables, you can consult the power tables in the latest update of the Fabric OS Release Notes.

Power cords

The types of power cords provided with the Brocade DCX 8510-4 are specific to the country where it is installed. For each of the types of power cords in Table 21, the end that connects to the Brocade DCX 8510-4 has an IEC 60320/C19 cable connector. The AC power receptacles on each power supply are equipped with IEC 60320/C20 power connectors.

In order to connect to a power strip already installed in a cabinet, the C20, 20A-250V, 12 AWG power cord is required.

To order a power cord, contact your Brocade DCX 8510-4 supplier.
