Step 6   Lift the fan out of the chassis as shown in Figure B-7, and set the fan on top of the power supply.


Figure B-7: Removing the Fan


Step 7   Depress the tab as shown in Figure B-8.


Caution Do not attempt to remove the fan cables without first depressing the tab as shown in Figure B-8. You can damage the fan cables by applying stress if the connector is not removed properly.

Step 8   Disconnect the fan cable as shown in Figure B-8, and set aside the fan.


Figure B-8: Disconnecting the Fan Cable


Step 9   Remove the next fan and disconnect its cable.

Step 10   Remove the cables for the two remaining fans. You can disconnect these cables without removing the fans.


Note   There are three different lengths of 2 wire ± 12 VDC power cables. The two shortest cables go to the two fans that you removed in Step 6 through Step 8. The two longer cables go to the two remaining fans removed in Step 9 and this step. The remaining cable goes to the power connector on the backplane.

These cables are color-coded. If you use an incorrect cable to connect a fan or the backplane, then you will be unable to make one of the other connections. To help with reconnecting the cables, write down which colored cable and the fan to which it connects.

Step 11   Disconnect the power connectors from the backplane as shown in Figure B-9. First disconnect the 2-pin 12V connector, then disconnect the power connector's 4-jack harness.

Step 12   Disconnect the 6-pin connector from the motherboard.


Figure B-9: Disconnecting the Power Connectors from the Backplane


Step 13   Slide the power supply toward the front panel to disengage the power supply hook from the chassis hook, as shown in Figure B-10. Then remove the power supply from the chassis.

Installing the Redundant Power Supply

A redundant power supply has two power cords to provide higher reliability and load balancing. Use the redundant power supply to:

To install the redundant power supply:


Step 1   Place the redundant power supply as shown in Figure B-11, then slide it toward the rear panel. You will be able to feel the chassis hook engage with the slot on the bottom of the power supply.


Figure B-11: Inserting the Redundant Power Supply in the Chassis


Step 2   Connect the 6-pin connector to the motherboard, as shown in Figure B-12. Note that, for clarity, the illustration does not show the fans in place or the fan cables.


Figure B-12: Connecting the 6-Pin Connector to the Motherboard


Step 3   Reconnect the power connector's 4-jack harness, then reconnect the 2-pin 12V connector, as shown in Figure B-13.


Figure B-13: Reconnecting the Power Cables to the Backplane



Caution Route the fan cables carefully to avoid pinching the cables near the bridge lance. See Figure B-14.

Step 4   Route the fan cables exactly as shown in Figure B-14. Note that the two longest cables are connected to the two installed fans on the right. The connectors to these two fans will fit into the space between the second and third fans.


Figure B-14: Routing the Fan Cables


Step 5   Insert the second fan as shown in Figure B-14, making sure that the fan cable feeds to your left. Position the cables to the two installed fans so that they will fit under the first and second fans. Press the fan into place between the four sheet metal tabs.

Step 6   Reconnect the two 2-pin fan cables to the remaining fan, as shown in Figure B-15.


Figure B-15: Reconnecting the Fan Cables


Step 7   Reinstall the remaining fan. Make sure you orient the fan so that the cables feed to the right (toward the second fan). Then route the cable completely under the fan before you reconnect it. This takes up the extra length of fan cable and keeps it out of the way.

When correctly assembled, the cables appear as shown in Figure B-16.


Figure B-16: Correct Fan Cable Routing


Step 8   Replace the air separator as shown in Figure B-17, holding all cables to the right of the separator as you slip it into the chassis.


Figure B-17: Replacing the Air Separator


Step 9   Turn the access server so that you face the rear panel, and then reinstall the three mounting screws (M3 mounting screws) as shown in Figure B-18.


Figure B-18: Replacing the Redundant Power Supply Mounting Screws


Step 10   Replace the chassis cover using the procedures in the following section, "Replacing the Chassis Cover."


Replacing the Chassis Cover

To replace the chassis cover:


Step 1   Place the chassis bottom so that the front panel is facing you.

Step 2   Hold the chassis cover over the chassis bottom, and align each of the cover tabs with the chassis tabs at the top rear of the chassis, as shown in Figure B-19.


Figure B-19: Replacing the Chassis Cover


Step 3   Lower the front of the top cover to close the chassis, and ensure the following:

When the chassis cover is properly assembled, no tabs are visible, as shown in Figure B-19.


Figure B-20: Cisco AS5400 Chassis


Step 4   Secure the chassis cover with four screws.

Step 5   Reinstall the chassis on a rack, desktop, or table.

Step 6   Reinstall all interface cables.

Step 7   Reconnect the AC power cord. Or, if using a DC-powered unit, refer to Figure B-21, and then complete Steps a to d.


Warning The illustration shows the DC power supply terminal block. Wire the DC power supply using the appropriate wire terminations at the wiring end, as illustrated. The proper wiring sequence is ground to ground, return to return, and negative to negative. Note that the ground wire should always be connected first and disconnected last. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.


Figure B-21: DC Power Supply Connections



Caution Do not overtorque the terminal block contact screws. The recommended torque is 5.0 in.-lb (0.56 N-m).


Warning After wiring the DC power supply, remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle and reinstate power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON position. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.


Note   You can order a Y-connector (CAB-AC-Y) to plug into both power connectors in the power supply. If you use this Y-connector, you remove the backup feature of this power supply by eliminating redundant operations and reducing reliability. Cisco highly recommends that you use both power cords whenever possible.

Step 8   Power ON the access server.

The internal power supply fan should power on. If you are using a redundant power supply, the six green LEDs on the front of the power supply should light. If one LED is not lit, consult the appropriate redundant power supply software message to determine where the problem is located.
