3000W AC or DC power supply
Table 18 lists the power supplies that are available for Brocade MLX and NetIron XMR routers.
Brocade MLX Series and NetIron XMR routers support the following power supply options:
•
4-slot router: Can accommodate three 1200W power supplies. For power redundancy you must purchase additional power
supplies depending on how you populate your router. For determining the number of power supplies required for redundancy,
refer to Chapter 7, “Hardware Specifications”.
•
8-slot router: Can accommodate up to four 1200W or 1800W AC and DC power supplies. Because power is supplied over a
common power bus, any power supply installed in addition to the minimum required provides backup for any supply that fails.
For power redundancy, you must purchase additional power supplies depending on how you populate your router. For
determining the number of power supplies required for redundancy, refer to Chapter 7, “Hardware Specifications”.
•
16-slot router: Can accommodate eight 1200W or 1800W AC and DC power supplies. Because power is supplied over a
common power bus, any power supply installed in addition to the minimum required provides backup for any power supply that
fails. For power redundancy, you must purchase additional power supplies depending on how you populate your router. For
determining the number of power supplies required for redundancy, refer to Chapter 7, “Hardware Specifications”.
NOTE
1800W AC power supplies support low and high line operation. For line voltages between 90 - 180, the power supply operates
at 1200W. For line voltages between 180 - 264, the power supply operates at 1800W.
•
32-slot router: Supports 2100W AC, 2400W AC and DC, and 3000W AC and DC models. Accommodates eight power
supplies.The following redundancy configurations apply:
-
If you are using 2100W AC power supplies, five are required and three are redundant (200-240 volts AC only).
-
If you are using 2400W AC or 2400W DC power supplies, four are required and four are redundant (200-240 volts AC
only).
-
If you are using 2100W and 2400W power supplies (AC or DC) in combination, five are required and three are redundant.
-
If you are using 3000W AC or DC power supplies, four are required and four are redundant.
Because power is supplied over a common power bus, any power supply installed in addition to required power supplies
provides backup for any power supply that fails.
