Cisco Systems 8600 Series manual Field-Installing a Second AC Power Supply

Replacing Parts

Step 8 There are two power supply securing fasteners, one on each side of the power supply assembly (Figure 11-4). The one on the left of each supply is a spring-loaded pin, the one on the right of each supply is a normal thumb-screw. Loosen the thumb-screw on the right.

Step 9 With the right hand, grip the power supply under the front panel. With the left hand, pull out the spring-loaded pin on the left side of the supply and hold it out as you pull out the power supply assembly.

Step 10 The power supply assembly weighs approximately 15 pounds (33 Kgs.). Support the bottom of the power supply as you pull it straight out, until it is free of the shelf.

Field-Installing a Second AC Power Supply

To field-install a redundant power supply, perform the following steps:

Step 1 If the front Air Intake Grille has already been removed, go to the next step. If not, remove it using Step 2 through Step 6 of the previous procedure.

Step 2 If converting a node from single to redundant powering, first remove the blank filler panel over position B (right side). With Air Intake Grille open, remove three screws attaching the filler panel to the retainer bracket (see Figure 11-5).

Step 3 Slide a replacement power supply assembly into the tracks of the power supply shelf.

Step 4 When the power supply is completely seated, the spring-loaded pin will snap into place to assure that the power supply has mated with its connector.
