Installing a FastIron Compact Switch
Preparing the installation site
Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or remove it from the device.
Otherwise, the power supply or the device could be damaged as a result. (The device can be running
while a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to
a power source.)
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
Make sure to choose the appropriate circuit device depending on the number of AC power supplies
installed in the chassis. The minimum current draw for the system is one AC power supply.
Power supplies are hot swappable. However, Brocade recommends that you disconnect the power supply
from AC power before installing or removing the supply. The device can be running while a power supply
is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power source.
Otherwise, you could be injured or the power supply or other parts of the device could be damaged.
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with
the device to connect it to the power source.
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you
use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in
your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
