Installing a NetIron XMR 16000 router
DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
For information about powering on the system, refer to
“Activating the power source”
on page 185.
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the router, 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 router.
Connecting DC power
You can use a DC power for the NetIron XMR 16000router by installing a DC-to-DC power supply. DC power must be supplied at 48 V
and 30 A. The DC-to-DC power supply provides the DC power to the router at 12 V and 100 A.
The procedure in this section is for qualified service personnel.
Follow these steps to connect a DC power source.
