Step 9 Verify power supply operation by checking that the power supply front panel LEDs are in the following states:


If the LEDs indicate a power problem, see "Troubleshooting the Installation" for troubleshooting information.

Removing a DC-Input Power Supply

Follow these steps to remove a DC-input power supply:


Warning Before performing the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board for the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.


Step 1 Verify that power is off to the DC circuit on the power supply you are removing.

Step 2 Turn the power switch to the Off (0) position on the power supply you are removing (see Figure 5-3).

Step 3 Remove the two screws securing the terminal block cover and slide the cover straight off the terminal block (see Figure 5-3).

Step 4 Disconnect the DC-input wires from the terminal block. Disconnect the ground wire last.


Warning When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

Step 5 Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the captive screw on the power supply (see Figure 5-3).


Caution Use both hands to install and remove power supplies. Each Catalyst 6000 family DC-input power supply weighs 25 pounds (9.9 kg).

Step 6 Grasp the power supply handle with one hand. Place your other hand underneath as you slowly pull the power supply out of the bay (see Figure 5-4).


Figure 5-4: Handling a DC-Input Power Supply


Step 7 If the bay is to remain empty, install a blank power supply filler plate (Cisco part number 700-03104-01) over the opening and secure it with the mounting screws. This protects the inner chassis from dust and prevents accidental contact with live voltage at the rear of the bay.

Step 8 Reinstall the power supply terminal block cover.


Installing a DC-Input Power Supply

Follow these steps to install a DC-input power supply, connect it to a power source, and verify its operation:


Warning Before connecting or disconnecting ground or power wires to the chassis, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.


Step 1 Ensure that the system (earth) ground connection has been made. For ground connection installation instructions, see the "Connecting System Ground" section.

Step 2 Verify that power is off to the DC circuit on the power supply you are installing.

Step 3 Turn the power switch to the Off (0) position on the power supply you are installing (see Figure 5-3).


Caution Use both hands to install and remove power supplies. Each Catalyst 6000 family DC-input power supply weighs 25 pounds (9.9 kg).


Caution Grasp the power supply handle with one hand. Place your other hand underneath as you slowly insert the power supply into the bay (see Figure 5-4).

Removing and Replacing the Fan Assembly

This section describes how to remove and install fan assemblies for the Catalyst 6000 family switches. A flat-blade or number 2 Phillips screwdriver is required to perform this procedure.

Removing the Fan Assembly

The fan assembly is designed to be removed and replaced while the system is operating without presenting an electrical hazard or damage to the system.

Perform these steps to remove the existing fan assembly:


Step 1 Locate the fan assembly to the left of the card cage (see Figure 5-6 for the Catalyst 6006 and 6506 switches and Figure 5-7 for the Catalyst 6009 and 6509 switches). For the Catalyst 6509-NEB switch, the fan assembly is above the card cage (see Figure 5-8).

Step 2 Loosen the two captive installation screws by turning them counterclockwise.

Step 3 Grasp the fan assembly with both hands and pull it outward; joggle it if necessary to unseat it from the backplane. Pull it clear of the chassis and place it in a safe place.

Installing the Fan Assembly

Perform these steps to install the new fan assembly:


Step 1 Hold the fan assembly with the fans facing to the right and the FAN LED at the bottom (see Figure 5-6 and Figure 5-7). For the Catalyst 6509-NEB switch, hold the fan assembly with the fans facing down and the FAN LED on the left (see Figure 5-8).

Step 2 Place the fan assembly into the front chassis cavity so it rests on the chassis, and then lift the fan assembly up slightly aligning the top and bottom guides.

Step 3 Push the fan assembly into the chassis until the captive installation screws meet the chassis.

Step 4 Tighten the captive installation screws by turning them clockwise.


Checking the Installation

Perform these steps to verify that the new fan assembly is installed correctly:


Step 1 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating. If you do not hear them, ensure that the fan assembly is inserted completely in the chassis and the faceplate is flush with the switch back panel.

Step 2 If after several attempts the fans do not operate, or if you experience trouble with the installation (for instance, if the captive installation screws do not align with the chassis holes), contact a Cisco customer service representative for assistance.
