It is normal for the fan speeds of the remaining fan modules to increase when one fan module is removed.
The fan speeds will return to normal once the fan module is reinstalled.
Note
Powering up the Switch and Verifying the Component
Installation
To power up the switch and verify hardware operation, follow these steps:
Before you begin
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when
servicing.Statement 1034
Warning
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the switch.
Caution
The 3000-W (DS-CAC-3000W) power supplies provide power according to the input voltage. If they are in
redundant rather than combined mode at 110 VAC, they may be unable to provide adequate power to all
modules present in the system. See Appendix 6, “Technical Specifications.”
Note
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages
and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other
equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all
cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
Warning
Do not connect the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port to the LAN until the initial switch configuration has been
performed. For instructions on configuring the switch, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Fundamentals
Configuration Guide.
Note
For instructions on connecting to the console port, see the “Connecting to the Console Port” section.
Step 1 Verify that the faceplates of all modules are flush with the front of the chassis, and the ejector levers are fully closed
and approximately parallel to the faceplate of the module.
Step 2 Verify that any empty module slots have filler panels installed.
Step 3 Verify that power supplies and the fan module are installed.
