Power specifications

The ports are universal and self-configuring, capable of becoming F_Ports (fabric ports), FL_Ports
(fabric loop-enabled ports), or E_Ports (expansion ports).
The ports meet all required safety standards. For a listing of these standards, see
compliance".

Power specifications

The power subsystem is a redundant +48V DC power distribution system with a provision for up to
four 2000-watt, 48V DC bulk power supplies. Four bulk power supplies produce the intermediate
distribution voltage in the distributed power system.
If circuits are available, 200-240 VAC (220 VAC nominal) is always recommended as a greener and
more efficient alternative.
NOTE
If any of the following intelligent blades are used, 200-240 VAC is required:
FS8-18, FX8-24.

The power requirements for a given configuration depend on which blades have been installed in
the chassis. The following table shows the power draw for the blades that can be used in the
Brocade DCX 8510-8 chassis along with the power draw for the cooling fans.
All numbers for the blades assume that the blade is fully populated with optical transceivers,
including QSFPs for the core blades. All ports are Fibre Channel except where noted.
You can calculate your power requirements by combining the power draws for the various blades
and fan units in your configuration. While you may use fewer ports in a given blade, it is always
safer to use the power requirement of a fully populated blade.
