Description
|
Chassis
|
1.5 RU height, fixed configuration chassis
|
Modules
|
Fixed configuration chassis; modules cannot be installed in the chassis.
|
Fan tray
|
•The chassis supports one hot-swappable fan tray. One fan tray model is available:
–FAN-C6524
Note The fan tray contains seven individual fans for chassis cooling. The individual fans are not field replaceable; you must replace the fan tray.
•Fan tray FAN status LED
–Green—Fan tray is operating normally.
–Red—One or more individual fans have failed.
|
Power supplies
|
•Supports one or two power supplies. The following power supplies are supported:
–PWR-400W-DC (400 W DC-input power supply)
–PWR-400W-AC (400 W AC-input power supply)
Note The 400 W AC-input power supply requires single-phase source AC. Source AC can be out of phase between multiple power supplies because all AC power supply inputs are isolated.
Note Both the AC-input power supply and the DC-input power supply have status LEDs. Refer to Appendix A for descriptions of the LEDs and their meanings.
Note The ME6524 switches support a combination of AC-input and DC-input power supplies in the same chassis.
