Connecting the Power Cord to AC Power Supplies
Complete the following steps to connect the power cord from the facility AC power source to the device's AC power
supply. Before connecting to power, be sure to observe all "Power Precautions" in
. In addition, see the
power supply specifications and requirements in
Brocade X7 Director Technical Specifications.
1. Install all power supplies provided for your device if they are not already installed. See
procedures.
2. When installing the device in a rack, route power cables from power distribution units (PDUs) so they do not cover air
vents in chassis.
3. Connect the provided AC power cords to a power source with a voltage of 200–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz or optionally to a
power source with a voltage of 100–120 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
DANGER
High Touch Current. Earth connection essential before connecting supply.
NOTE
The use of the high-voltage line (200–240 VAC) is highly recommended because of better power-conversion
efficiency. With 120 VAC primary input, the power distribution unit (PDU) supplies roughly half the available
wattage, which can limit blade and port configurations. For a "fully-loaded" chassis with maximum
supported blades and optics, four power supplies connected to 200–240 VAC lines are required for full N+N
redundancy. For details on power supplies required for operation and high availability, see "Power supply
requirements" and "Power consumption" tables in the
Brocade X7 Director Technical Specifications
.
4. Route the cords so they will be out of the way when connected to the power source. Ensure that the power cords have
a minimum service loop of 15.2 cm (6 in.) available and are routed to avoid stress.
5. Plug the power cords into power supplies. The power supply LED will light green when power is applied. Note that
after one power supply is plugged into AC power, LEDs on the remaining installed power supplies will flash green until
they also have power applied.
The director performs a power-on self-test (POST) each time it is powered on. POST takes approximately 10 minutes,
during which time status LEDs on installed blades and other FRUs may display amber. Power LEDs on all FRUs
display green when power-on self-test (POST) is complete and all FRUs are functional. You can bypass POST by
using the
fastBoot
command. You can also disable POST for successive reboots using the
diagDisablePost
command.
NOTE
Do not connect the device to the network until the IP addresses are configured.
6. After POST is complete, verify that the power LEDs on blades and other FRUs are green.
For information about LED patterns, see
Monitoring the Device
.
7. Ground the chassis by attaching a ground wire from building the ground to an appropriate crimp connector and
attaching the connector to the 2AWG Panduit LCD2-14AF lug located under the fan assemblies near the bottom of the
chassis.
Connecting to HVAC/HVDC Power Supplies
Perform steps in this section to apply power to the dual-function high-voltage AC and DC (HVAC/HVDC) power supply.
This power supply converts high-voltage DC or AC input to appropriate DC power for the device.
Make sure that you observe the electrical caution and danger statements in
when connecting this
power supply.
