Hot Swapping
Toreducenetworkdowntime,apowersupplymaybehotswapped.Whenmultiplepower
suppliesareinstalled,thisallowstheremovalofonepowersupplywithoutpoweringdownthe
chassisandinterruptingnetworktraffic.
The K6-FAN Chassis Cooling System
TheK6chassisfeaturesaremovablefantraythatisaccessiblefromthefrontofthechassis.This
fantrayishotswappable,whichallowsittobereplacedwithoutpoweringdownthechassis.The
FANLEDontheK‐Seriesfabriccardindicatesthestatusofthefantray(normal/fault/not

installed).Referto“FabricCardLEDs”onpage 4‐1forafulldescriptionoftheFANLEDstates.
Standalone or Rack Mountable Chassis
TheK6chassiscanbeinstalledasafreestandingunitonashelfortable.TheK6chassiscanalsobe
mountedintoastandard48.26‐centimeter(19‐inch)equipmentrack.Inarackinstallation,theK6
chassiscanbeeitherfrontmountedormid‐mounted.Tomid‐mountaK6
chassis,youmustuse
theK‐Seriesmid‐mountbracketsthatareavailableseparately.RefertoChapter 2,Installation
RequirementsandGuidelinesforrequirementsonventilationandcooling.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
EachK‐AC‐PS‐1400WpowersupplyinstalledintheK6chassisprovides400watts(at120V)and
800watts(at240V)forPoEtopowereddevices(PDs).ForadditionalPoEpower,youcanalso
connectonemoreK‐AC‐PS‐1400Wsupply,installedintheK‐POE‐4BAYPoEshelf,
totheK6
chassis.
Chassis Management
TheK6chassisismanagedthroughtheCOMportontheK‐Seriesfabriccard.
UsetheUSBportontheK‐Seriesfabriccardtoupgradethechassisanduploadanddownload
files,suchasconfigurationfilesandfirmwareimages.
