Chapter 1      Removal and Replacement Procedures
  Removing and Installing the AC-Input Power Supplies
Installing the 1000 W, 1300 W, 2500 W, 3000 W, 4000 W, 6000 W, and 8700 W AC-Input Power 
Supplies
CautionUse both hands to install and remove power supplies. Each Catalyst 6500 series AC-input power supply 
weighs between 14.5 pounds (6.6 kg) and 40 pounds (18.14 kg).
To install an AC-input power supply, follow these steps:
Step 1Ensure that the system (earth) ground connection has been made. For ground connection instructions, 
see the “Establishing the System Ground” section on page 1-52.
NoteIf you are installing an 8700 W power supply in a Catalyst 6506, Catalyst 6509, or 
Catalyst 6509-NEB chassis, you must install the system (NEBS) ground lug on the system 
ground studs on the power supply faceplate rather than the system ground pad on the chassis. 
The increased depth of the 8700 W power supply covers the system (NEBS) ground pad on these 
three chassis. To install the system ground on the 8700 W power supply, see “Installing the 
System Ground on an 8700 W Power Supply” section on page 1-59.
Step 2If necessary, remove the blank faceplate (Cisco part number 800-27924-xx) from the chassis power 
supply bay opening by loosening the captive installation screw.
Step 3Remove the power supply from its shipping packaging.
Step 4Verify that the power switch is in the off (0) position on the power supply that you are installing. 
(SeeFigure 1-6.)
Step 5Grasp the power supply handle with one hand. Place your other hand underneath the power supply, as 
shown in Figure 1-7. Slide the power supply into the power supply bay. Make sure that the power supply 
is fully seated in the bay.
Step 6Tighten the power supply captive installation screw. (SeeFigure 1-6.)
Step 7If you are installing an 8700 W power supply in a Catalyst 6506, Catalyst 6509, or Catalyst 6509-NEB 
chassis, install the system (NEBS) ground lug on the power supply system ground studs. For installation 
instructions, see “Installing the System Ground on an 8700 W Power Supply” section on page 1-59
Step 8Plug the power cord into the power supply, and tighten the screw on the cable retention device. Refer to 
Appendix A for a list of supported AC power cords for your particular AC-input power supply.
NoteThe AC power cords for the 4000 W power supply are hard wired to the power supply.

  Removing and Installing the AC-Input Power Supplies
Step 9Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC-input power source.
CautionIn a chassis with dual power supplies or power supplies with multiple AC inputs, connect each AC power 
cord to a separate input source. In case of a power source failure, the alternate input source should still 
be available.
Step 10On 8700 W power supplies, there is a relay controller switch located in the lower right quadrant of the 
power supply faceplate. If you are not using the 8700 W power supply’s remote power-cycling feature 
or you have the remote power-cycling feature installed and you are using a normally open (NO) relay, 
make sure that the switch is in the down (DEFAULT) position otherwise the power supply will not power 
up.
Step 11Turn the power switch to the on (|) position on the power supply. Switching the power switch to on also 
engages a pawl that locks the power supply in the bay.
Step 12Verify the power supply operation by ensuring that the power supply front panel LEDs are in these states:
INPUT OK LED is green
NoteOn the 6000 W and the 8700 W power supplies, there is a separate INPUT LED for each AC 
power cord. Only the LED for a power supply input that has an AC power cord attached will 
light.
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 A-3 for 
troubleshooting information.

  Removing and Installing the DC-Input Power Supplies
Removing a 950 W DC-Input Power Supply
WarningBefore 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 
WarningHazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use 
caution when servicing. Statement 1034
To remove a DC-input power supply, follow these steps:
Step 1Identify which PEM is connected to the power supply you are removing (PEM 1 or PEM 2). Verify that 
the source power is off to the circuit that is connected to that PEM. 
Figure 1-8 shows the location of the DC-input PEMs on the Catalyst 6503 switch chassis.
NoteThe system (NEBS) ground serves as the primary safety ground for the Catalyst 6503 and 
Catalyst 6503-E chassis that are equipped with DC-input power supplies. The DC-input power 
supplies for these chassis do not have a separate ground. Make sure that the chassis you are 
working on has the system (NEBS) ground installed.
Step 2Loosen the captive installation screws on the power supply. (See Figure 1-9.)
Step 3Grasp the power supply handle with one hand, and slide the power supply part of the way out of the 
chassis. Place your other hand underneath the power supply, as shown in Figure 1-10, and slide the 
power supply completely out of the chassis.
Step 4If the power supply bay is to remain empty, install a blank power supply filler plate (Cisco 
part number 800-16727-01) over the opening, and secure it with the captive installation screws.

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
To install a 950 W DC-input power supply, follow these steps:
Step 1Ensure that the system (earth) ground connection has been made. For ground connection installation 
instructions, see the “Establishing the System Ground” section on page 1-52.
NoteThe system (NEBS) ground serves as the primary safety ground for the Catalyst 6503 and 
Catalyst 6503-E chassis that are equipped with DC-input power supplies. The DC-input power 
supplies for these chassis do not have a separate ground. Make sure that the chassis you are 
working on has the system (NEBS) ground installed.
Step 2Verify that power is off to the DC circuit connected to the DC PEM for 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 3Grasp the power supply handle with one hand. Place your other hand underneath the power supply, as 
shown in Figure 1-10. Slide the power supply into the power supply bay. Make sure that the power 
supply is fully seated in the bay.
Step 4Tighten the power supply captive installation screws. (See Figure 1-9.)
CautionPower supply captive installation screws must be tight to ensure protective grounding continuity.
CautionIn a system with dual power supplies, connect each power supply to a separate input line. In case of 
a line failure, the second source should still be available.
Step 5Verify that all connections to the DC PEM are secure.
Step 6Remove any safety flags, lockout devices, or tape from the circuit breaker switch handle, and restore 
power by moving the circuit breaker switch handle to the On (|) position.
Step 7Verify the power supply operation by ensuring that the power supply front panel LEDs are in the 
following states:
INPUT OK LED is green
FAN OK LED is green
OUTPUT FAIL LED is not lit
