Installing a second power supply and fan assembly
Complete the following steps to install a second power supply and fan assembly in a Brocade 6505.
1. Using the #1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the filler panel covering the second bay on the non-port
side of the switch.
2. Orient the new power supply and fan assembly with the captive screw on the right, as shown in
Removing a power supply and fan assembly on page 42. The figure shows the installation of the
assembly in bay 1 of the switch which is similar to installing it in bay 2.
Do not force the installation. If the FRU does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented
before continuing.
CAUTION
Carefully follow the mechanical guides on each side of the power supply slot and make sure
the power supply is properly inserted in the guides. Never insert the power supply upside
down.
3. Gently push the power supply and fan assembly into the chassis until it is firmly seated.
4. Using the Phillips screwdriver, secure the power supply and fan assembly to the chassis by
tightening in the captive screw.
5. Plug the power cord into the power supply and fan assembly and into the socket of your power
source.
6. Power on the unit by switching the AC power switch to the I symbol.
7. Verify that the LED on the new power supply and fan assembly displays a steady green light while
the Brocade 6505 is operating. If the LED is not a steady green, ensure that the power supply is
securely installed and seated properly.
8. Optionally, if using the command line interface (CLI), enter the psShow command at the command
line prompt to display the status. You can also use the fanShow or chassisShow commands.
Power supply and fan assembly status can also be viewed using the Web Tools application.
9. After installing the second power supply and fan assembly, Brocade recommends that you change
the switchstatus policy settings for power supplies and fans to the following in order to enable the
call home feature if one power supply goes down:
switch.status.policy.PowerSupplies.down = 1
switch.status.policy.PowerSupplies.marginal = 0
switch.status.policy.Fans.down:1
switch.status.policy.Fans.marginal:0
For more details on executing the switchStatusPolicyShow and switchStatusPolicySet
commands,please refer to the Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference Manual .
