Chapter Product Overview Introduction Network planners today have to expand and extend the range of services offered further into the edge of the network. This requires extending the intelligence and high-touch processing capabilities to the network edge— whether in a metro network, a campus network or in a data center. The challenge at the edge of the network is compounded by the need to flexibly define and easily manage customer services in an intuitive manner.

Installation precautions Installation precautions Follow these precautions when installing the unit. DANGER Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Lithium battery is a long life battery and it is very possible that you will never need to replace it.
Installation precautions Power precautions CAUTION Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails. CAUTION Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device.
Page 43
Installation precautions CAUTION The power supply is designed exclusively for use with the Brocade NetIron CES and Brocade NetIron CER devices. The power supply produces extensive power. Installing the power supply in a device other than the Brocade NetIron CES and Brocade NetIron CER 2000 series device will cause extensive damage to your equipment.
Installation site preparation CAUTION For the DC input circuit (DC power supply part number RPS9-DC), make sure there is a 20 amp circuit breaker, minimum 48Vdc, double pole, on the input to the power supply. The input wiring for connection to the product should be copper wire, 12 AWG, marked VW-1, and rated minimum 90 C.
Redundant power supply installation Redundant power supply installation The Brocade device ships with one alternating-current (AC) power supply or direct-current (DC) power supply. All models have two power supply slots, enabling you to install a second power supply for redundancy. If desired, you can install a second supply for redundancy. CAUTION Changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
