Replacing a Power Supply

The Cisco Nexus 3000 Series switches support a front-end power supply that you can replace. The switch requires only one power supply for operations, so you can hot swap the redundant power supply during operations.

Caution Be sure that the replacement power supply has the correct direction of airflow, which means that it takes in air from the cold aisle and exhausts air to the hot aisle. It must also have the same direction of airflow as the other power supply (if installed) and fan tray. Otherwise, an overtemperature condition can occur.

Removing an AC Power Supply

Caution If you are using the Cisco Nexus 3000 Series switch with one power supply, removing the power supply causes the switch to shut down. If the power supply is functioning, you can install a new power supply in the second power supply slot (see the “Installing an AC Power Supply” section on page 4-2) and then switch to using that power supply.
