Note You can replace a faulty power supply while the system is operating if the other power supply is
functioning.
Removing a Power Supply
Caution If you are using a Cisco Nexus 5600 Platform, removing the power supply causes the switch to shut
down. If you are using two power supplies and you remove one of them, the switch can continue to
operate.
To remove an AC or DC power supply, follow these steps:
Step 1 Ensure that the system (earth) ground connection has been made. For ground connection instructions,
see the “Grounding the Switch” section on page 2-8.
Step 2 Remove the AC power cord or DC wiring connector.
Step 3 Grasp the power supply handle with your left hand.
Step 4 Push against the release latch with your left thumb, and slide the power supply part way out of the
chassis.
Step 5 Place your other hand under the power supply to support its weight, and then completely remove the
module from the slot.
Step 6 If the power supply bay is to remain empty, install a blank power supply filler panel.If you are replacing
the power supply, see Installing a Power Supply, page 4-3
Installing a Power Supply
To install a power supply in a Cisco Nexus 5600 Platform chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 Ensure that the system (earth) ground connection has been made. For ground connection instructions,
see the “Grounding the Switch” section on page 2-8.
Step 2 If the power supply bay has a filler panel, press the latches on the sides of the filler panel, and then slide
it out of the power supply bay.
Step 3 Hold the power supply by the handle and position it so that the release latch is on the right, and then slide
it into the power supply bay, ensuring that the power supply is fully seated in the bay.
Step 4 Plug the AC power cable or DC wiring connector into the inlet receptacle at the rear of the chassis. For
a DC installation, you should secure the plug to the power supply by tightening both captive screws on
the plug.
