Connecting AC power
AC power is supplied through a power cord connected to the power supply in the Brocade MLX-16
router. Follow these steps to connect AC power.
For the NEBS-compliant installation, AC power connections must use a surge protection device
(SPD) to protect the AC power supplies from damage due to excessive power line surges.
Follow these steps to connect AC power to your router.
1. Locate the power supply AC Inlet at the bottom rear of chassis for the associated installed
power supply as shown in Figure 132.
2. Lift the cord-retainer and connect an AC power cord to the power supply. Refer to Figure 132.
3. Snap the cord-retainer over the power plug to hold it in place.
