  • Replacing a power supply
    • 1. To leave the Brocade ICX 6650 in service while replacing a power supply, verify that the other power supply (the one not being replaced) has been powered on for at least four seconds and has a steady green status LED.
      • 2. Before opening the package that contains the power supply, touch the bag to the switch casing to discharge any potential static electricity. Brocade recommends using an ESD wrist strap during installation.
      • 3. Remove the power supply from the anti-static shielded bag.
      • 4. Ensure that the replacement power supply has the same part number and airflow label as the power supply being replaced.
      • 5. Unplug the power cord from the power supply that is being replaced.
      • 6. Using the Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two captive screws on the power supply.
      • 7. Remove the power supply from the chassis by pulling the handle on the power supply out and away from the chassis.
      • 8. Holding the power supply level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side and gently push it all the way into the slot, ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector.
      • 9. When you are sure the power supply has properly engaged the connector, tighten the retainer screws to secure the power supply in the slot.
      • 10. Plug the power cord into the power supply to power on the unit.
      • 11. Verify that the LED on the new power supply displays steady green while the Brocade ICX 6650 is operating (see Table 2). If the LED is not steady green, ensure that the power supply is securely installed and seated properly.
    • Do not force the installation. If the power supply does not slide in easily, ensure that the power supply is correctly oriented before continuing.
• Replacing fan trays
