Products Affected

Problem Description

Part number change from PWR-3660-DC= to PWR-3660-DC-U=. Customers receiving PWR-3660-DC-U= as a replacement for PWR-3660-DC= may refer to this field notice for clarification of the install instructions. There will be an interim period while official documentation is updated and this field notice is intended to fill that gap.

Background

In June 2002, Cisco released the PWR-3660-DC-U= power supply for the 3660. The release of this power supply obsoletes the PWR-3660-DC=. The purpose of this field notice is to provide an additional point of reference concerning the part number change. Although there is a part number change, it is not necessary to replace the PWR-3660-DC= unless it has failed. The PWR-3660-DC-U= does not add any additional functionality.

Problem Symptoms

The PWR-3660-DC= has reached end of life, it is no longer produced. PWR-3660-DC-U= is the replacement part number for PWR-3660-DC=. Cisco's implementation of the PWR-3660-DC-U= utilizes a DC terminal block with three post connections in contrast to the PWR-3660-DC= which contains a single DC connector style plug.

Workaround/Solution

Since there are some physical differences between the connector types used for PWR-3660-DC= and PWR-3660-DC-U=, some initial familiarization may be necessary. Appendix A is a link to the installation instructions for PWR-3660-DC-U= containing a description of the terminal block connections and steps for the wiring procedure.
