Chapter 3: 6C105 Setup

3.2.5Installing a Power Supply Module

You must install at least one power supply in the 6C105 chassis. One power supply provides sufficient power for most module configurations but a second power supply can be installed to provide a redundant, load sharing power source. When two power supplies are installed, the load is evenly distributed. If one power supply fails for any reason, the second power supply assumes the load.

If the 6C105 is configured with a single power supply module, it

!must be located in slot PS1.

CAUTION

The 6C105 power supplies must be installed in the two slots labeled PS1 and PS2 on the far right side of the chassis (Figure 3-4). If you intend to install a single power supply it must be installed in the slot labeled PS1 in the chassis. A flat blade screwdriver is needed to install the power supply module(s).

To install the power supply(ies) into the 6C105 chassis, refer to Figure 3-4and proceed as follows:

1.Unpack the power supply by removing it from the shipping box and sliding the two foam end caps off the unit. (Save the shipping box and materials in the event the unit must be reshipped.)

2.Remove the power supply from its protective plastic bag. (Save the shipping box and materials in the event the unit must be reshipped.)

3.Examine the power supply carefully, checking for damage. If any damage is noted, DO NOT install the power supply. Contact the Cabletron Systems Global Call Center immediately.
