Installing a Brocade MLXe-4 router
2
1. Locate the power supply AC inlet on rear of chassis for the associated installed power supply.
2. Lift the cord retainer and connect the AC power cord to the AC inlet.
3. Snap the cord retainer over the power plug to hold it in place.
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 125.
Connecting DC power
You can provide DC power for the Brocade MLXe-4 router by installing a DC-to-DC power supply. The
DC-to-DC supply converts 48V-DC input from a power source to 12V-DC for your router.
The procedure in this section is for qualified service personnel.
Because there are multiple power supply vendors, the LED layout on your DC power supply may differ
from what is shown in Figure 34. However, the LED functions are identical.
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 34.

2. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the power lugs.
3. Crimp #8 AWG power supply wire into the power lugs and reconnect the lugs to the power
supply unit. Refer to Figure 35.
