Installing a Brocade MLX-4 router

2. Lift the cord retainer and connect an AC power cord to the power supply. Refer to Figure 40.
3. Snap the cord retainer over the power plug to hold it in place.
FIGURE 40 Connecting a power cord to the power supply
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the router, make sure you
use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in
your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the router.
For information about powering on the system, refer to “Activating the power source” on page 121.
Connecting DC power
You can provide DC power for the Brocade MLX-4 router by installing a DC-to-DC power supply. The DC-to-DC supply converts
48V-DC input from a power sou ce to 12V-DC for your router.
The procedure in this section is for qualified service personnel.
NOTE
Because there are multiple power supply vendors, the LED layout on your DC power supply may differ from what is shown in
Figure 41. However, the LED functions are identical.
