Brocade X6-8 Director
Hardware Installation Guide
•
The Brocade X6-8 Director can have three or four power supplies installed, depending on the quantity ordered. The
use of the high-voltage line (200 to 277 VAC) is advised because of better power conversion efficiency. See "Power
for minimum power supplies required for AC low and high voltage
line operation, redundancy in case of power supply failure, and other specifications.
•
Redundant AC primary power connections ensure high availability. Each power supply has its own connector. If four
power supplies are installed, four primary power connections are required for the Brocade X6-8 Director for optimum
efficiency and redundancy.
Power supplies can be removed and replaced without special tools. If you are replacing one power supply in a
configuration with N+1 or greater redundancy, the director can continue operating during the replacement if procedures in
this guide are followed. Otherwise, installed blades may power off.
Power cords are available from Brocade. Power cords are 6m (19.68 ft.) long and contain three colored 14 AWG
unterminated wires, which are described in the following table:

Power cords have an Anderson Saf-D-Grid 400 connectors on the power supply end and unterminated wires on the other
end for attaching to AC or DC power sources. Either attach an AC power plug to these wires that meet your facility and
local code requirements or connect wires to appropriate DC power terminal blocks.
