Chapter 3 Installing Field Replaceable Units

Installing a Power Supply or Fan Unit

Failed Power Supplies or Fan Units

The status of power supplies and fan units can be checked using the CLI, the Chassis Manager, or the Element Manager. The available information includes the status, the vital product data (VPD), the description of the error or an error code.

If you suspect that a power supply module has failed, check the LEDs (see the “Power Supply and Fan LEDs” section on page 4-3) and view the status through the Element Manager.

In most cases, vital information can be retrieved from the console port of management Ethernet port. See the “Vital Product Data Storage” section on page 1-5.

Refer to 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.

Installing a Power Supply or Fan Unit

Caution Never place your hand inside an empty module bay or anywhere inside the Cisco SFS 7000P switch.

Caution Unused module bays should always have a Cisco SFS 7000P filler panel over the bay to ensure proper safety, ventilation, and cooling.

To insert a power supply or fan unit, follow these steps:

Step 1 Ground yourself appropriately.

Step 2 Remove the filler panel from the power supply bay with a number 1 Phillips screwdriver, if it is still in place (see Figure 3-1).
