Alcatel-Lucent 6600 Blank Cover Panel Requirement, Viewing Primary and Backup Power Supply Status

OmniSwitch 6600 Family Chassis and Hardware Components Backup Power Supply

Blank Cover Panel Requirement

If you are not replacing the backup power supply being removed, be sure to install a blank cover panel (supplied with your switch) over the empty power supply bay. To install a blank cover panel, follow the steps below.

1Place the blank cover panel over the empty power supply bay and insert two Phillips screws (also supplied with the switch) through the panel and into the threaded holes in the chassis.

2Once the screws are inserted, fasten the panel to the chassis by tightening the screws. Be sure not to overtighten the screws.

Viewing Primary and Backup Power Supply Status

The switch constantly monitors primary and backup power supply operation. If either power supply unex- pectedly shuts down, the switch sends out a trap to the user and the PS1 and/or PS2 LEDs on the chassis front panel turn amber.

Note. For detailed LED information, including the PS1 and PS2 LEDs, refer to “Status LEDs” on page 2-18.

To check the number of power supplies currently operating, and the status of each power supply, use the show power command. For example:

-> show power

Power	Supplies in	chassis 8
PS	Operational Status
-----+	-------------------
PS-1	UP
PS-2	NOT PRESENT

The primary (i.e., factory-installed) power supply is listed as PS-1in the show power command output. The backup power supply is listed as PS-2. In the example above, there is no backup power supply installed in the chassis.

Note. For information on viewing primary and backup power supply status in a stacked configuration, refer to page 2-35.
