Power supplies

Except for the configurable models, each Brocade FastIron ICX 6650 Switch comes with two
alternating-current (AC) power supplies. The Brocade FastIron ICX 6650 Switch also supports
direct-current (DC) power supplies. The Brocade FastIron ICX 6650 Switch is capable of running on
one power supply and one fan. The second set provide redundancy.
If the second power supply and fan slots are unused, you must cover them with filler panels.
CAUTION
When running two power supplies, they must be of the same type: either two alternating-current
(AC) power supplies or two direct-current (DC) power supplies. AC and DC units cannot be mixed
in a device.
