Facility requirements

Table 4 provides the facilities requirements that must be met for the Brocade VA-40FC.

Power supply specifications

The power supplies are universal and capable of functioning worldwide without voltage jumpers or

switches. They meet IEC 61000-4-5 surge voltage requirements and are autoranging in terms of

accommodating input voltages and line frequencies. Each power supply has a built-in fan for

cooling, pushing air towards the port side of the switch.

Table 5 lists the power supply specifications for the Brocade VA-40FC.

TABLE 4 Facility Requirements

Type Requirements

Electrical • Primary AC input 100-240 VAC, 2.0A, 47-63 Hz; switch autosenses input voltage

• Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the electrical rating

on the switch nameplate

• Circuit protected by a circuit breaker and grounded in accordance with local electrical

codes

Refer to Table 5 on page 29 for complete power supply specifications.

Thermal

• A minimum air flow of 79.8 cubic meters/hour (47 cubic ft/min.) available in the

immediate vicinity of the switch

• Ambient air temperature not exceeding 40 C (104 F) while the switch is operating

Cabinet (when

rack-mounted)
