Chapter 6 Maintaining the Router

Removing and Replacing AC and DC Power Subsystem Components

Caution Newer, 1900 W DC power supplies require the upgraded PDU. You cannot install a new power supply using the old PDU. If you are replacing an old power supply with the new unit, you must perform a complete upgrade by replacing both power supplies, the PDU, and the blower module if you are required to meet NEBS extended temperature range requirements. This also means that you must shut down the router to perform the upgrade. Notify the system administrator and other appropriate personnel that all routing traffic stops while the upgrade takes place.

Before you attempt to install or replace them (Table 6-1Table6-1), be sure you know your system power supplies and associated PDU.
