Providing power to the DCX Backbone

ATTENTION

Use the supplied power cords. Ensure the facility power receptacle is the correct type, supplies the required voltage, and is
properly grounded. (D004)

1. Connect the AC power cords to the power supply assemblies. One to four power cords are required depending on electrical

service.

2. Connect the power cords to a power source with voltage of 200 to 240 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz (normally two power cords or as

many as four) or to a power source with voltage of 110 to 120 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz (two to four power cords).

ATTENTION

Use of the high-voltage line (200 to 240 VAC) is highly recommended because of better power-conversion
efficiency.

3. Turn the AC power switches on the power supplies to ON. The AC power switches light green when switched on and power is

supplied.

4. The Brocade DCX performs a power-on self-test (POST) each time it is powered on. POST takes approximately 10 minutes

and is complete when the indicator light activity displays the operational state. For information about LED patterns, see 

Monitoring System Components

 on page 63.

You can bypass POST by using the 

fastBoot

 command. You can also disable POST for successive reboots on the Brocade

DCX using the 

diagDisablePost

 command.

ATTENTION

Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP addresses are
configured.

Configuring the Brocade DCX

The Brocade DCX must be configured before it is connected to the fabric, and all of the configuration commands must be entered
through the active CP blade. The Brocade DCX configuration includes the following parameters:

IP address and subnet mask for the chassis

IP addresses, host names, subnet masks, and gateway addresses for both CP blades

Switch name

Domain ID for the Brocade DCX (optional)

WWN for the Brocade DCX

The Brocade DCX WWN is initially set by the factory to match the license ID (which is based on the chassis serial number).

The configuration information is mirrored to the standby CP blade, which allows the current configuration to remain available even if the
active CP blade fails. The configuration information for the Brocade DCX is stored in the WWN cards and the flash memory of the CP
blades. The configuration can be backed up to a workstation (uploaded) and then downloaded to the active CP blade if necessary.

NOTE

If the Brocade FS8-18 encryption blade is installed, refer to the 

Fabric OS Encryption Administrator’s Guide for the procedures

to configure the encryption functions

The following figure illustrates the flow of the basic configuration tasks.
