Power supplies
Each Brocade ICX 6650 comes with two alternating-current (AC) power supplies. The Brocade ICX
6650 device also supports direct-current (DC) power supplies. The Brocade ICX 6650 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.
NOTE
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.
