Installing a Brocade MLX-16 router
2
Connecting DC power
You can supply DC power to the Brocade MLX-16 router using a DC-to-DC power supply. For 1200W
power supplies, DC power must be supplied at 48 V and 40 A. For 1800W power supplies, DC
power must be supplied at 48 V and 60 A. The DC-to-DC supply provides the DC power to the router
at 12 V and 100 A.
The procedure in this section is for qualified service personnel.
Follow these steps to connect a DC power source.
1. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws that hold the transparent cover over
the power supply lugs, as shown in Figure 58.

2. Use a #2 Phillips head screwdriver to remove the power lugs.
3. Crimp #8 AWG power supply wire into the power lugs and reconnect the power lugs to the
power supply unit. Refer to Figure 59.
For the NEBS-compliant installation of a Brocade router with AC and DC systems, use a ground
wire of at least 6 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The ground wire should have an agency-approved
crimped connector (provided with the device) attached to one end, with the other end attached to
building ground. The connector must be crimped with the proper tool, allowing it to be connected
to both ground screws on the enclosure. Before crimping the ground wire into the provided
ground lug, ensure the bare copper wire has been cleaned and antioxidant is applied to the bare
wire.
