Power Supplies

If the CMTS is not operating in a power-redundant configuration, a fault with a single

power-related component might cause the CMTS to shut down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If a fault does occur within a non-redundant configuration,

 

 

 

 

we strongly recommended that you immediately switch

 

 

 

 

off the power to the CMTS for safety purposes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the case of AC power, you switch off the power by pressing the rocker switch on the AC

power transition module to the off (O) position. In the case of DC power, the DC power

transition module does not contain a power switch. We recommend that you switch off the

DC power before removing the DC power cord from the DC power transition module

terminal block. Once the power is switched off, you can safely replace the faulty component.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove Power Supplies

 

 

 

 

The power supplies in the G10 CMTS are hot-swappable, which means that the system can

remain powered up while a power supply is being removed or installed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before you hot-swap a power supply, ensure at least five

 

 

 

 

 

 

operating power supplies remain in the chassis after you

 

 

 

remove the faulty power supply. Otherwise, power down

 

 

 

the CMTS before removing the faulty power supply.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following procedure describes the steps required for removing a power supply:

 

 

 

 

1. Remove the power supply faceplate by pulling the flanges on each side of the faceplate

 

away from the chassis until the faceplate ball studs are removed from the power supply

 

 

faceplate clips.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Loosen the upper and lower retainer screws of the power supply.

 

 

 

 

3.

Press down on the ejector release while simultaneously pulling the ejector away from the

 

power supply (actions #1 and #2 in Figure 44 on page 161). The ejector should rest at

 

 

approximately 45° from the faceplate. The power supply is physically and electrically removed from its connector on the midplane.

4. Slowly slide the power supply out of its bay until it is fully removed from the system

(action #3 in Figure 44).

5. If you are not replacing the power supply, you must install a power supply filler panel to

cover the empty power supply bay. Align the panel over the bay opening so that the two self-contained screws are on the left side of the panel when installed in the chassis (see Figure 5 on page 12). Apply 3 in-lb of torque to each of the two screws.
