Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuits. To ensure that all power is removed, locate the circuit breakers or fuses on the DC power lines that service the DC circuits. Turn OFF the DC power line circuit breakers and remove the DC power line fuses. Statement 322



Warning When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 1046


To install a DC-input power supply, follow these steps:


Step 1 Ensure that the system (earth) ground connection has been made. For ground connection installation instructions, see the "Establishing the System Ground" section on page 3-51.

Step 2 Verify that power is off to the DC circuit on the power supply that you are installing. As an added precaution, place the appropriate safety flag and lockout devices at the source power circuit breaker, or place a piece of adhesive tape over the circuit breaker handle to prevent accidental power restoration while you are working on the circuit.

Step 3 Verify that the power switch is in the off (0) position on the power supply that you are installing.

See Figure 4-11 for the 1300 W DC power supply or Figure 4-12 for the 2500 W DC power supply.


Caution Use both hands to install and remove power supplies. Each Catalyst 6500 series DC-input power supply weighs between 22 pounds (10 kg) and 28 pounds (12.7 kg).

Step 4 Grasp the power supply handle with one hand, and place your other hand underneath the power supply. Slide the power supply into the power supply bay. Make sure that the power supply is fully seated in the bay. (See Figure 4-15.)

Step 5 Tighten the power supply captive installation screw. (See Figure 4-11 for the 1300 W DC power supply or Figure 4-12 for the 2500 W DC power supply.)

Step 6 Remove the two screws securing the terminal block cover, and slide the cover off of the terminal block.

See Figure 4-11 for the 1300 W DC power supply or Figure 4-12 for the 2500 W DC power supply.

Step 7 Attach the appropriate lugs to the DC-input wires. The maximum width of a lug is 0.300 inch (7.6 mm).


Note The wire should be sized according to local and national installation requirements and electrical codes. Use only copper wire. For North American installations of 2500 WDC-input power supplies, use fine-stranded copper conductors rated for 90°C.


Step 8 Connect the DC-input wires to the terminal block (see Figure 4-16 for the 1300 W DC power supply or Figure 4-17 for the 2500 W DC power supply) in this order:

1. Ground

2. Negative (-)

3. Positive (+)


Note The terminals on the 1300 W DC power supply DC power cable terminal block are labeled (from top to bottom) +, -, ground. The terminals on the 2500 W DC power supply DC power cable terminal block are labeled (from top to bottom) -, +, ground.


Step 9 After ensuring that all wire connections are secure, reinstall the terminal block cover.


Caution To prevent a short circuit or shock hazard after wiring the DC-input power supply, you must reinstall the terminal block cover.


Caution In a system with dual power supplies, connect each power supply to a separate power source. In case of a power source failure to one supply, the second power source should still be available.

Step 10 Remove any safety flag and lockout devices or any tape from the circuit breaker switch handle, and restore power by moving the circuit breaker switch handle to the on (|) position.

Step 11 Turn the power switch to the on (|) position on the power supply. Turning on the power switch also engages a pawl that locks the power supply in the chassis.

Step 12 Verify the power supply operation by ensuring that the power supply front panel LEDs are in these states:

INPUT OK LED is green

FAN OK LED is green

OUTPUT FAIL LED is not lit

If the LEDs indicate a power problem, see the "Identifying Startup Problems" section on page E-3.

Removing a 2700 W DC-Input Power Supply

Installing a 2700 W DC-Input Power Supply

The 2700 W DC-input power supply can operate at either 1350 W or at 2700 W. If you want to operate the power supply at 1350 W, you only need to connect one pair of source DC cables to either the VE-1 or the VE-2 pair of posts on the power supply terminal block. If you want to operate the power supply at 2700 W, you need to connect two pairs of source DC cables to the VE-1 and the VE-2 pairs of posts on the power supply terminal block.


Note For proper 2700 W DC-input redundant power configurations, all of the source DC for one 2700 W DC-input power supply must come from the same battery system (A feed); all of the source DC for the other 2700 W DC-input power supply must come from another battery system (B feed).



Note For multiple DC-input power supplies, each DC input must be protected by a dedicated circuit breaker or a fuse. The circuit breaker or fuse must be sized according to the power supply input rating and the local or national electrical code requirements.

Step 8 If the power supply 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 captive installation screws.


Installing a 2700 W DC-Input Power Supply

This section provides the procedures for installing a 2700 W DC-input power supply in the Catalyst 6504-E switch chassis. The 2700 W DC-input power supply can operate at either 1350 W or at 2700 W. If you want to operate the power supply at 1350 W you only need to connect one pair of source DC cables to either the VE-1 or the VE-2 lugs on the power supply terminal block. If you want to operate the power supply at 2700 W, you need to connect two pairs of source DC cables to the VE-1 and the VE-2 lugs on the power supply terminal block.


Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuits. To ensure that all power is removed, locate the circuit breakers or fuses on the DC power lines that service the DC circuits. Turn OFF the DC power line circuit breakers and remove the DC power line fuses. Statement 322



Note For proper 2700 W DC-input redundant power configurations, all of the source DC for one 2700 W DC-input power supply must come from the same battery system (A feed); all of the source DC for the other 2700 W DC-input power supply must come from another battery system (B feed).



Note For multiple DC-input power supplies, each DC input must be protected by a dedicated circuit breaker or a fuse. The circuit breaker or fuse must be sized according to the power supply input rating and the local or national electrical code requirements.


To install the 2700 W DC-input power supply in the Catalyst 6504-E chassis and cable it to source DC, follow these steps:


Step 1 Ensure that the system (earth) ground connection has been made. For system ground connection installation instructions, see the "Establishing the System Ground" section on page 3-51.

Step 2 Remove the power supply from its shipping container and remove any packaging material.

Step 3 Locate the plastic bags that accompanied the power supply and set them aside. One bag contains one source DC cable guide, terminal block cover (plastic) with four screws, and two cable ties. The other plastic bag contains the 1/4-20 nuts and lock-washers for the terminal posts. You will use these items later in the procedure.

Step 4 Verify that source DC power is off to the DC circuit that feeds the power supply that you are installing. As an added precaution, place the appropriate safety flag and lockout devices at the source DC circuit breaker, or place a piece of adhesive tape over the circuit breaker handle to prevent accidental power restoration while you are working on the circuit.

Step 5 Grasp both power supply handles, as shown in Figure 4-22. Slide the power supply into the power supply bay. Make sure that the power supply is fully seated in the bay. Tighten the four captive installation screws.


Warning Power supply captive installation screws must be tight to ensure protective grounding continuity. Statement 289


Figure 4-22 Installing the Power Supply in the Chassis

Step 6 Determine whether you will be routing the source DC cables on the left- or right-side of the power supply. Loosen and remove the two screws securing the top half of the fixed cable guide on the side you will be routing the source DC cables. Remove the top half of the cable guide and set it and the screws aside.

Step 7 Attach the appropriate size and type of lugs to the source DC cables and the ground cable.

The maximum width of a lug is 0.300 inch (7.6 mm). The source DC cables and the ground cable must be sized according to local and national installation requirements. Use only copper wire. The power supply terminal block lug opening width is 0.62 inch (15.8 mm). The terminal posts are centered 0.63 inches (15.88 mm) apart and have a 1/4-20 thread. We recommend that you use an appropriately sized industry standard 2-hole, standard barrel compression lug. The power supply ground posts also have 1/4-20 threads and require two 1/4-inch split-ring washers and two 1/4-20 hex nuts (one for each post).


Note For 2700 W power supplies, use fine-stranded copper conductors that are rated for 90-degrees Celsius for North American installations.



Note For proper 2700 W DC-input redundant power configurations, all of the source DC for one 2700 W DC-input power supply must come from the same battery system (A feed); all of the source DC for the other 2700 W DC-input power supply must come from another battery system (B feed).



Note For multiple DC-input power supplies, each DC input must be protected by a dedicated circuit breaker or a fuse. The circuit breaker or fuse must be sized according to the power supply input rating and the local or national electrical code requirements.


Step 8 Connect the source DC cable lugs to the 2700 W power supply terminal block posts (Figure 4-23) in this order:

Ground cable lug to the ground terminal posts

Negative (-) source DC cable lug to terminal post -VE-1

Positive (+) source DC cable lug to terminal post +VE-1


Note If you are only going to install one pair of source DC cables (1350 W operation), you can attach the source DC cables to either the VE-1 or VE-2 pair of terminal posts. Also notice that there is only one ground connection on the power supply faceplate.


Figure 4-23 Attaching the Source DC Cables and the Ground Cable

Position the source DC cables in the fixed cable guide. Place the top half of the fixed cable guide over the source DC cables and secure the top half of the cable guide to the bottom half with two screws. Figure 4-24 shows how the source DC cables are routed from the left side of the power supply.


Warning When installing the unit, always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Statement 42


Step 9 Route and secure the ground cable to the fixed cable guide loops with the two cable-ties supplied with the power supply. (See Figure 4-24.)

Step 10 Position the clear plastic terminal block cover over the terminal block and secure it to the power supply using the four supplied screws. (See Figure 4-24.)

Figure 4-24 Securing the Cables to the Cable Guides

Step 11 Install the detached source DC cable guide that is supplied with the power supply (see Figure 4-25):

a. Position the thicker half of the cable guide under the two or four source DC cables and align the cables with the grooves in the cable guide. The cable guide should be placed between the terminal block and the fixed cable guide.

b. Place the upper half of the cable guide over the source DC cables and secure the two halves of the cable guide together with the two supplied screws. Do not tighten the screws at this time.

c. Slide the cable guide toward the terminal block and position it as close to the terminal block as possible.

d. Tighten the two cable guide screws.
