NOTE: The power socket on the back (service end) of the Topspin 360 corresponds to the power supply module on the same side of the Server Switch.

Removing a Power Supply

To remove the power supply, perform the following steps:

1.Remove the power cord from the power supply.

2.Disengage the power supply by pulling it toward you.

3.Slide the power supply out of the chassis.

4.Fasten a blanking panel to the empty chassis bay to ensure appropriate cooling.

NOTE: The blanking panel is a flat sheet of metal with the same dimensions as the power module faceplate.

Blower Trays

The hot-swappable blower trays (fans) of your Topspin 360 maintain the internal temperature of your Server Switch. You do not need to turn off power to the chassis to replace a blower tray. Access the blower tray from the front (bezel end) of the Topspin 360 chassis. Figure 2-11displays the blower trays in the chassis.

NOTE: Your chassis requires two fully-functioning blower modules at all times.

Install Blower Trays

To insert a blower tray, perform the following steps:

1.Ground yourself appropriately.

2.Remove the blower tray from any packaging.
