Power Supplies
The Z9000 is designed to support two hot-swappable power supply units (PSUs). The Z9000 supports
AC and DC power supplies with two air-flow directions (normal and reversed). Two PSUs are required
for full redundancy, but the system will operate with a single PSU.
NOTE: If you use a single PSU, you must install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. Dell Force10
recommends using power supply 1 (PSU1) as the blank plate slot.
The PSUs are field replaceable. When operating with full redundancy (two power supplies installed and
running), you can remove and replace one PSU while the other PSU is running without interrupting
traffic.
WARNING:
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an
ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the Z9000 and its components.
WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, ensure the Z9000 is grounded properly. If you do not ground your
equipment correctly, excessive emissions may result. Use a qualified electrician to ensure that the power
cables meet your local electrical requirements.
Components
The following power supply options are available for the Z9000:
• AC power supply with integrated fan (Force10 Catalog# Z9000-PWR-AC | Dell Part # NY1X9)
• AC power supply with integrated reverse flow fan
(Force10 Catalog# Z9000-PWR-AC-R | Dell Part # 0XRVV)
• DC power supply with integrated fan (Force10 Catalog# Z9000-PWR-DC | Dell Part # 4JPXV)
• DC power supply with integrated reverse flow fan
(Force10 Catalog# Z9000-PWR-DC-R | Dell Part # F3WK0)
Install a Power Supply
The PSUs in the Z9000 are field replaceable. When both power supplies are installed and running, you
can remove one power supply without interrupting traffic. To install a new PSU or to replace a PSU, use
the following procedures.
WARNING: Prevent exposure and contact with hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to operate this system
with the safety cover removed.
CAUTION: Remove the power cable from the PSU prior to removing the PSU. Also, do not connect the power
cable before you insert the PSU in the system.
