Installing the Backup Power Supply Daughtercard
Once all backup power supplies are installed in the backup power supply shelf, be sure that a backup
power supply daughtercard is installed in the rear panel of each switch that is to receive redundant power.
For help locating the backup power supply daughtercard bay, refer to
Note. You can install a daughtercard in the chassis at any time without disturbing the switch’s network
functions. You are not required to power down the switch.
Anti-Static Warning. Before handling any components, free yourself of static by wearing a grounding
strap, or by grounding yourself properly. Static discharge can damage the switch and the backup power
supply.
Installation Steps
To install the backup power supply daughtercard in the rear of the chassis, follow the steps below:
1
If there is a blank cover panel installed at the daughtercard bay, uninstall it by removing the two Phil-
lips attachment screws. After the attachment screws have been removed, carefully pry the blank cover
panel out and away from the chassis. Set the cover panel and attachment screws aside.
2
When orienting the daughtercard, be sure to keep the circuit board situated toward the bottom.
3
Carefully slide the daughtercard into the bay (located at the rear panel of the chassis—see
)
until the front panel of the daughtercard is flush with the chassis rear panel and the module is seated
securely.
4
Tighten the two captive screws located at the left and right sides of the daughtercard’s front panel. Be
sure not to overtighten the captive screws. If you use a screwdriver, the torque used to tighten the screws
must not exceed 2.3 foot-pounds.
5
Repeat steps 1 through 4 for any remaining switches that are to receive redundancy power supply
support.
Installing the Backup Power Supply Connector Cables
Once all backup power supplies are installed in the backup power supply shelf and all daughtercards are
installed in the switch chassis, connect one backup power supply connector cable between each power
supply and daughtercard.
Powering on the Backup Power Supplies
OmniSwitch 6800 Series backup power supplies do not use on/off switches. The power cord is the
supply’s only connect/disconnect device. The power connector socket is located on the supply’s front
panel. For more information, refer to
“OS6800-BPS-225 225W Backup Power Supply” on page 2-42
To power on the backup power supply, plug the power cord (provided) into the supply’s power connector
socket. Next, plug the power cord into an easily-accessible power source, such as a grounded AC outlet or
an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Repeat this process for each backup power supply installed in the
power shelf.
