LEDs
Table 1-6 describes the supervisor engine LEDs.
Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports
The Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports operate in full-duplex mode only. GBICs have SC connectors to interface with multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) cable. For more information about GBICs, refer to the Catalyst 4500 Series Module Installation Guide.
When two Supervisor Engine Vs are present in a Catalyst 4507R and Catalyst 4510R, all four uplinks are active on both Primary (active) and Secondary (standby) supervisor engines by default, or two uplinks will be active in a nonredundant configuration. This limits access to slot 10 on the Catalyst 4510R to ports 3 and 4 only. You can only use the 2-port Gigabit Ethernet switching module (WS-X4302-GB) or the Access Gateway Module (WS-X4604-GWY) in slot 10 (flex-slot), when a Supervisor Engine V is used.
10-Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports operate in full-duplex mode only, and are only on the WS-X4516-10GE and WS-X4013+10GE. These ports use the hot-swappable 10GBASE X2 optical transceivers. The X2s have SC connectors to interface with multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) cable.
On a Catalyst 4510R with a Supervisor Engine V-10GE, the user has the option to use either four Gigabit Ethernet uplinks using SFPs or two 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks using X2s. The user also has the option of using the Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks simultaneously. With this option, the tenth slot can only support the WS-X4302-GB switching module. On a Catalyst 4507R, the user can use the Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks simultaneously.
When two Supervisor Engine V-10GEs are present in a Catalyst 4510R or Catalyst 4507R switch, or two Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GEs are present in a Catalyst 4507R, one X2 uplink is active on both the primary (active) and secondary (standby) supervisor engines by default, or two uplinks will be active in a nonredundant configuration.
SFP Ports
Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports operate in full-duplex mode only and are present on the WS-X4013+TS, WS-X4516-10GE and WS-X4013+10GE supervisors, as well as some switching modules. These ports use the 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, Cisco Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM ) SFPs, 1000BASE-T SFP, and 1000BASE-ZX SFP. SFP connectors vary with interface type and may use multimode fiber (MMF), single-mode fiber (SMF) cable, or copper Ethernet cables.
10/100BASE-T Port
The 10/100BASE-T port supports emergency image recovery. The 10/100BASE-T port supports image downloads from the ROMMON. You can use this feature when the onboard Flash memory does not contain any IOS images, usually after all images were accidentally deleted from onboard Flash.
CONSOLE Port
The CONSOLE port has an EIA/TIA-232 RJ-45 connector. The CONSOLE port allows you to perform the following functions:
•
•
•
Note
RESET Button
The RESET button is used to restart the switch.
Note
CompactFlash Port
The CompactFlash port accepts a Type 1 CompactFlash card. You can use it for file transfer tasks such as loading a new software image. The CompactFlash card is optional, and can be obtained from third-party suppliers.
For more information, refer to Using the Compact Flash on the Catalyst 4000 Family Supervisor Engine III and IV at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/hardware/configuration/notes/OL_2788.html
Fan Assembly
Note
The system fan assembly provides cooling air for the internal chassis components. The fan assembly is a tray of fans that you can insert and remove from the chassis while the system is on line. The Catalyst 4503 fan assembly has two fans, the Catalyst 4506 fan assembly has four fans, the Catalyst 4507R fan assembly has six fans, and the Catalyst 4510R fan assembly has eight fans. The fans draw in fresh air from one side and exhaust air on the other side. Catalyst 4503 airflow is shown in Figure 1-13. Catalyst 4506 airflow is shown in Figure 1-14. Catalyst 4507R airflow is shown in Figure 1-15. Catalyst 4510R airflow is shown in Figure 1-16.

Power Supplies
Note
A Catalyst 4500 series switch can use a 1000 W, 1300 W, 1400 W, 2800 W (see Figure 1-17), or 4200 W (with two inputs, see Figure 1-18) AC-input power supply , a 1400 W DC-input power supply with integrated PEM (see Figure 1-19), or a 1400 W DC multiple-input power supply (see Figure 1-20). The power supplies are hot-swappable. If you have power supplies of different types installed in the two bays, only one will be active and some power features will not be available. The power supply in the left bay is PS1, the one in the right bay is PS2.
The AC-input power supply has a power cord that connects each power supply to the site power source. The DC-input power supply is equipped with a input terminal block that is directly connected to the site power wiring.
Each power supply has an ON/OFF switch that supplies power to the switch. For information on removing and replacing power supplies, see the "Removing and Replacing the Power Supply" section on page 4-2.
Figure 1-17 AC-Input Power Supply (All Except 4200 W)
Figure 1-18 4200 W Dual Input AC Power Supply
Note
Figure 1-19 1400 W DC-Input Power Supply
Figure 1-20 1400 W DC Triple-Input Power Supply
Note
The 1400 W DC input power supply (either single or triple-input) may be used with the Catalyst 4500 Series AC Power Shelf. Documentation for the Catalyst 4500 Series AC Power Shelf is at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/hardware/configuration/notes/78_15068.html
Catalyst 4500 series switches support one power supply and an optional redundant power supply. Each AC power supply has an individual power cord and status LEDs. Systems with redundant power supplies will share the load, with each unit providing approximately one-half of the total load. For information about configuring your switch for redundant and combined modes, refer to the software configuration guide for your switch.
The Catalyst 4510R requires at least 1400 W of input power. (The 1000 W AC and 1300 W AC power supplies for the Catalyst 4500 series will fit and function in a Catalyst 4510R; however, power management may be required in high density configurations.) Cisco recommends the use of the 1400 W DC, 1400 W AC, and 2800 W AC power supplies for the Catalyst 4510R.
When power is removed from one power supply on a Catalyst 4500 series switch that has two power supplies, the redundant power feature causes the second power supply to produce full power.
To replace a power supply, see the "Removing and Replacing the Power Supply" section on page 4-2.
Power Supply LEDs
Table 1-7 describes the power supply LEDs.
Power Supply Fan
Each power supply has a built-in fan. Air enters the front of the power supply (power-input end) and exits through the back. An air dam keeps the airflow separate from the rest of the chassis, which is cooled by the system fan assembly.
Load-Sharing Feature
When you install and turn on a second power supply on a Catalyst 4500 series switch, it provides approximately one-half of the required power to the system. If one power supply fails, the other power supply immediately assumes full power to maintain uninterrupted system operation.
Note
When you install a redundant power supply, load sharing and fault tolerance are enabled automatically; no additional software configuration is required.
Environmental Monitoring Feature
With the environmental monitoring and reporting feature, you can keep your system running by resolving adverse environmental conditions before loss of operation.
The power supply monitors its own internal temperature and voltages. In the event of excessive internal temperature, the power supply shuts down to prevent damage. When the power supply returns to a safe operating temperature, it restarts. If the power supply output voltage is not within the specified range, the LED labeled OUTPUT FAIL will light. An instance of substantial output overvoltage can shut down the power supply.
An instance of substantial input overvoltage (greater than -75 V DC continuous) can damage the power supply input circuitry and can cause it to shut down permanently.
For a 1400 W DC power supply, the main power switch has an input range of -40.5 to -72 V DC, while the -48 V PoE operates over a range of -40.5 to -56 V DC. The PoE either fails to start or shuts down if exposed to greater than -56 V DC input. PoE recovers after you recycle input power within the proper voltage range. If the PoE shuts down due to input overvoltage (greater than -56 V DC), the main converter section does not shut down.
The supervisor engine monitors the status of each power supply and provides a status report through the switch software. For more details on how the supervisor engine monitors the power supplies, refer to the "Environmental Monitoring and Power Management" chapter of the Catalyst 4500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide.
1400 W DC Triple-input Power Supply Operational Modes
The C4500 1400 W DC Triple Input SP Power Supply (data only) allows added redundancy by providing terminals for two DC inputs rated at 15 A and one rated at 12.5 A per power supply.
This power supply has five operational modes depending on the inputs receiving power. When all three inputs are active, at input voltages greater than -44.0 V DC, the power supply delivers 1400 W maximum total output. Table 1-8 provides output information for these modes, given a single supply.
The maximum total input current is 42.5A and the maximum ambient temperature is 55 C. To determine total maximum input power to a supply, add up the active individual module input power ratings. Table 1-9 provides output information for these modes, given two supplies working in combined mode. Table 1-10 provides output information for these modes, given two supplies working in redundant mode.
Note
The C4500 1400 W DC Triple Input SP Power Supply requires a minimum draw from the system that it is installed in. Table 1-11 shows
