Power Supply Modules

The Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server Switches power supply modules are hot-swappable. You can add a second module without powering off a switch. If you have two power supply modules installed, you can remove one of them without removing power from the switch.

Locating the Power Supply Unit

The Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server Switches can have up to two power supply modules. Each power supply module contains a power supply and a fan unit. Both power modules are located at the front of the switch. When facing the front of the switch, the power supply modules are located in the left and right slots of the switch.

Failed Power Supply Modules

The status of a power supply module can be checked using the CLI, the Chassis Manager, or the Element Manager. The available information includes the status, the VPD, the description of the error, or an error code.

If you suspect that a power supply module has failed, check the LEDs and view the status through the Element Manager. For more information about LEDs, see the “Power Supply LEDs” section on page 5-3.

In most cases, vital information can be retrieved from the console port of the management Ethernet port. (See the “Diagnostics” section on page 1-5.)

See the Cisco SFS 7000 Series Product Family Chassis Manager User Guide or Cisco SFS 7000 Series Product Family Element Manager User Guide for more information.
