DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS
   WHAT SKILLS DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED?: Field Engineer/Administrator will want to be familiar with Qlogic switches.
   TIME ESTIMATE: 5 minutes
   TASK COMPLEXITY: 1

FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS:
PROBLEM OVERVIEW: A power supply has failed or is suspected faulty and needs replacement.
WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?:

You can remove or install one of the two functioning power supply blades without
disrupting service. The Power Supply blades are interchangeable; that is, a Power
Supply blade will fit in any bay. Power Supply blades can have front-to-back or
back-to-front air flow; however both Power Supply blades and Fan blades must
have the same air flow direction.

***WARNING!!***
The Power Supply blade faceplate and internal surfaces can become very
hot. Handle with care.
Voltage is present in an open slot when the switch is operating. To avoid
personal injury or damage to surrounding components, do not place hands
or objects into an open slot.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE?:

***CAUTION!***
Always use an ESD wrist strap when removing and installing a Power
Supply blade. A Power Supply blade contains sensitive logic components.
Keep the Power Supply blade in an ESD protective container or anti-static
bag when not in use.
To avoid overheating, do not operate the switch with an empty Power Supply
blade slot any longer than it takes to install a new Power Supply blade.
Replacement Power Supply blades must be compatible with the switch air
flow direction of the other Power Supply blade and Fan blades. Installing a
Power Supply blade with an opposing air flow direction could lead to
overheating.

To remove a power supply blade, do the following

1. Confirm that the primary CPU Heartbeat LED is showing the normal 1 blink
per second. This allows the switch to correctly report power supply status.
2. Move the Power Supply blade On/Off switch to the off position.
3. Unfasten the bail from the plug and unplug the cord from the Power Supply
blade.
4. Rotate the latch to the full open position. Pull the Power Supply blade by the
latch to disengage the blade from the midplane connector. Carefully slide the Power Supply blade out of the chassis.

To install a power supply blade, do the following

1. Confirm that the CPU blade Heartbeat LED is showing the normal 1 blink
per second. This allows the switch to correctly report power supply status.
2. Open the Power Supply blade latch and slide the blade into the chassis until
it contacts the midplane connector.
3. Rotate the latch right-to-left to lock the Power Supply blade in place.
4. Move the Power Supply blade On/Off switch to the On position. Observe
that the Power Supply blade Power LED is illuminated.
5. Confirm the Power Supply blade status. Open a Telnet session and enter the
Show Chassis command to display the operational status of the Power
Supply blade.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE
WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE?: Confirm the Power Supply blade status. Open a Telnet session and enter the Show Chassis command to display the operational status of the Power Supply blade.
