Power supplies are hot-swappable.

Figure 4 shows the front panel of the AC power supplies used in the TurboIron 24X.

FIGURE 4 AC power supply front panel

1AC LED

The power supplies are auto-sensing and auto-switching, and provide up to 300 watts of total
output power, having a universal input (90 VAC to 264 VAC) and 12 VDC regulated output.

Power supplies can be swapped in or out of the device while the device is running, and without
opening the device. You can remove one of the supplies without interrupting operation because
the remaining power supply provides enough power for all of the ports.

For power supply hardware specifications, refer to “Power supply specifications” on page 55.

Lifting precautions

Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable or falling over.

Do not use the handles on the power supply units to lift or carry a Brocade device.

Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at
the bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.

Power precautions

The following precautions apply to Tur boIro n 24 X devices:

Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, to provide redundancy in case one of the
circuits fails.

Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection.
To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of
all devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for
the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power
connectors.

Make sure you insert the power supply right-side up. It is possible to insert the supply upside
down, although the supply will not engage with the power backplane cotter pin when plugged
upside down. The label of the power supply is on the top when you plug in the power supply
right-side up when the power connector is on the left and the fan vent is on the right.

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Replace the battery only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used battery according
to the instructions.

Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.

Make sure to choose the appropriate circuit device depending on the number of AC power
supplies installed in the device. The minimum current draw for the system is one AC power
supply.

Power supplies are hot swappable. However, Brocade recommends that you disconnect the
power supply from AC power before installing or removing the supply. The device can be running
while a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be
connected to a power source. Otherwise, you could be injured or the power supply or other parts
of the device could be damaged.

Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord
supplied with the device to connect it to the power source.

If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, 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 device.

For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 MB ohm resistor.
