•The LED labeled GOOD is green.
•The LED labeled FAIL is not lit.
•The LED labeled FAN OK is green.
Step 13 Check the power supply and system status from the system console by entering the show system command (Catalyst Operating System) or the show power command (Cisco IOS). For more information on this command, refer to the command reference publication for your switch.
Step 14 If the LEDs or the show system command (Catalyst Operating System) or the show power command (Cisco IOS) output indicate a power problem or other system problem, see Chapter 5 "Troubleshooting," for more information.
This section describes how to remove a DC-input power supply.
You will need the following tools to perform this procedure:
•A Phillips screwdriver
•A 10-mm wrench/socket
Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Statement 1003 |
Follow these steps to remove a DC-input power supply:
Step 1 Turn off the in-line power switch. (Single input only. The triple-input power supply does not have this switch.)
Step 2 Turn off the main power switch.
Step 3 Verify that power is off to the DC circuit on the power supply you are removing.
Step 4 Loosen the screw on the terminal block cover and remove it from the terminal block (see Figure 4-11 or Figure 4-12). The triple-input power supply has two screws on the cover.

Warning Use copper conductors only. Statement 1025 |
Follow these steps to install a DC-input power supply, connect it to a power source, and verify its operation:
Step 1 Verify that power is off to the DC circuit or circuits on the power supply you are installing.
Step 2 Grasp the power supply handle with one hand. Place your other hand underneath it as you slowly insert the power supply into the bay (as shown earlier in Figure 4-16).
Step 3 Using a screwdriver, tighten the captive screws on the power supply (see Figure 4-15).
Step 4 Before you connect the power supply to a power source, ensure that all site power and grounding requirements have been met.
Step 5 Connect the DC-input wires to the power supply terminal block. The proper wiring sequence is ground to ground, positive to positive, and negative to negative (see Figure 4-13 or Figure 4-14 depending on your installation).
The 1400W triple-input power supply has two grounding posts; use the one that is most convenient for your installation.
Warning When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 1046 |
Step 6 Replace the terminal cover.
Step 7 Connect the other end of the power cords to a DC-power input source.
Step 8 Verify power supply operation by checking the power supply's front-panel LEDs. You should see the following:
•The LED labeled INPUT OK is green.
•The LED labeled OUTPUT FAIL is not lit.
Step 9 Check the power supply and system status from the system console by entering the show system command (Catalyst Operating System) or the show power command (Cisco IOS). For more information on these commands, refer to the command reference publication for your switch and software.
Step 10 If the LEDs or the show system command (Catalyst Operating System) or the show power command (Cisco IOS) output indicate a power problem or other system problem, see Chapter 5 "Troubleshooting," for more information.
This section describes how to remove and install the chassis fan assembly for the Catalyst 4500 series switches. See Figure 4-17 for the Catalyst 4503 system fan assembly, Figure 4-18 for the Catalyst 4506 system fan assembly, Figure 4-19 for the Catalyst 4507R system fan assemblies, and Figure 4-20 for the Catalyst 4510R system fan assemblies.

You will need a Phillips screwdriver for the following two procedures.
Warning When removing the fan tray, keep your hands and fingers away from the spinning fan blades. Let the fan blades completely stop before you remove the fan tray. Statement 258 |
Follow these steps to remove the existing chassis fan assembly:
Step 1 Loosen the two captive installation screws on the fan assembly by turning them counterclockwise.
Step 2 Grasp the fan assembly with both hands and pull it outward; gently move it side to side if necessary to unseat it from the backplane. Slide it out of the chassis and place it in a safe place.
Follow these steps to install the new fan assembly:
Step 1 Hold the fan assembly with the fans facing to the right.
Step 2 Place the fan assembly into the fan assembly bay so it rests on the chassis, and then lift the fan assembly up slightly, aligning the top and bottom guides.
Step 3 Slide the fan assembly into the chassis until the two captive installation screws make contact with the chassis.
Step 4 Using a screwdriver, tighten the two captive installation screws by turning them clockwise.
Note To check the operation of the fans, you need to power up the chassis.
Follow these steps to verify that the new fan assembly was 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 that the faceplate is flush with the switch back panel.
Step 2 The fan tray LED should light and be green.
Step 3 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 the Cisco TAC for assistance.
There are 5 redundancy modules (also called mux buffers) and 1 clock module on a Catalyst 4507R chassis backplane. A Catalyst 4510 has 8 redundancy modules on its backplane. They are accessible from the front if the switching modules and supervisor engines are removed. There are two types of redundancy modules, and they are interchangeable.
The clock module replacement procedure is identical to the redundancy module replacement procedure, the connectors are the same. These modules are not hot-swappable, the switch must be taken out of service to replace them.
To replace the backplane modules:
Step 1 Make sure you are grounded with an ESD strap.
Step 2 Turn off the power to the chassis.
Step 3 Remove all supervisor engines and switching modules from the chassis, and find the backplane modules you need to replace.
Note Keep a record of switching moduleand their slots, so that you can put them back correctly.
Note Generic switching module replacement procedures are documented at:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat4000/hw_doc/gmdcf_nt.htm#wp21932
Figure 4-21 shows the front view of the backplane with supervisors and switching modules removed.
Figure 4-21 Catalyst 4507R Backplane
Step 4 If you are removing a clock module, remove the two screws that attach the module to the backplane.
Step 5 Find the seating levers on both sides of the connector for the module you wish to replace. (See Figure 4-22.)
Figure 4-22 Finding the Seating Levers
Step 6 To release the module from its connector, pull the levers outward with your fingernails. The module will pop out slightly. (See Figure 4-23.)
Figure 4-23 Releasing the Module
Step 7 Pull out the module while holding the top left and top right corners. (See Figure 4-24.)
Note When handling the modules, do not touch the chips or the gold edge contacts on the module.
Figure 4-24 Removing the Module
Step 8 Put the replacement module in at roughly a 30 degree angle, and gently push the module down. Make sure you apply force evenly on the left and right. (See Figure 4-25.)
Figure 4-25 Seating the Replacement Module
Step 9 Make sure the module is fully seated. (See Figure 4-26.)
Figure 4-26 Correct Module Seating
Step 10 Push the module toward the back of the chassis and make sure it is clipped in by the levers on both sides. (See Figure 4-27.)
Figure 4-27 Securing the Module
Step 11 Repeat Step 4 to Step 10 for the other modules you need to replace.
Step 12 If you are installing a clock module, secure the module to the backplane using the screws from the earlier removal.
Step 13 Replace the supervisor engines and switching modules to their previous slots.
Step 14 Restore power to the switch.
After the switch is reassembled and power is restored, connect a terminal to the supervisor engine and monitor the boot process. Look for the following messages (or any others), which may indicate a problem with the replaced modules:
00:00:20: %C4K_SUPERVISOR-2-MUXBUFFERNOTPRESENT: Mux buffer (WS-X4K-MUX) 3 is not present
00:00:20: %C4K_SUPERVISOR-2-MUXBUFFERNOTPRESENT: Mux buffer (WS-X4K-MUX) 4 is not present
00:00:20: %C4K_SUPERVISOR-2-MUXBUFFERNOTPRESENT: Mux buffer (WS-X4K-MUX) 7 is not present
The above messages (either at startup or output from a show logging command) indicate that the mux-buffer is not present in slots 3, 4 and 7. You need to reinsert and reseat the modules in those slots.
If the switch has already started up, you may also verify the correct function of the new modules with the show logging command.
