Port numbering

Complete the following steps to provide power to the chassis.
DANGER
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. Two or four power cords are
2. Connect the power cords to a power source with voltage of 200 to 240 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz
3. Turn the AC power switches on the power supplies to I. The AC power switches light green when
4. The Brocade DCX 8510-8 performs a power-on self-test (POST) each time it is powered on.

(normally two power cords or as many as four) or optionally to a power source with voltage of
110 to 120 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz (up to four power cords).
ATTENTION
Use of the high-voltage line (200 to 240 VAC) is highly recommended because of better
power-conversion efficiency.
A DCX 8510-8 chassis fully loaded with 16 Gbps port blades (384 ports total) should be
supplied with four power supplies connected to 200-240 VAC lines.
switched on and power is supplied.
POST takes approximately 10 minutes and is complete when the indicator light activity displays
the operational state.
You can bypass POST by using the fastBoot command. You can also disable POST for
successive reboots on the Brocade DCX 8510-8 using the diagDisablePost command.
ATTENTION
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP addresses are configured.
