Installing a Power Supply Module

6C110 Overview and Setup Guide 3-13

3.9 INSTALLING A POWER SUPPLY MODULE

You must install at least one power supply in the 6C110 chassis. One

power supply provides sufﬁcient power for most module conﬁgurations

but a second power supply can be installed to provide a redundant, load

sharing power source. When two power supplies are installed, the load is

evenly distributed. If one power supply fails for any reason, the second

power supply assumes the load.

The 6C110 power supplies must be installed in the two slots labeled PS1

and PS2 on the far right side of the chassis (Figure 3-11). If you intend to

install a single power supply it must be installed in the slot labeled PS1 in

the chassis. A ﬂat blade screwdriver is needed to install the power supply

module(s).

To install the power supply(ies) into the 6C110 chassis, refer to

Figure 3-11 and proceed as follows:

1. Unpack the power supply by removing it from the shipping box and

sliding the two foam end caps off the unit. (Save the shipping box and

materials in the event the unit must be reshipped.)

2. Remove the power supply from its protective plastic bag. (Save the

shipping box and materials in the event the unit must be reshipped.)

3. Examine the power supply carefully, checking for damage. If any

damage is noted, DO NOT install the power supply. Contact Cabletron

Systems immediately.

CAUTION

Before installing the power supplies, refer to Section 3.8 and

Section 3.6 for important information on power supply

requirements for the 6C110 chassis.

Installing legacy 6C205-2 and 6C205-3 power supplies with

6C210-1 or 6C210-2 power supplies in the same chassis is

NOT allowed.

CAUTION

If the 6C110 is configured with a single power supply module, it

must be located in slot PS1.
