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.
If you need to install a redundant power supply, it may be easier to install it before mounting the
device, although the power supplies are "hot swappable" and can be installed or removed after the
device is mounted and powered on.
This section provides the following procedures:
• Installing a redundant AC power supply - Installing an AC power supply on page 50
• Installing a redundant DC power supply - Installing a DC power supply on page 52
