WITCH

 4007

This chapter describes the routine maintenance to 
perform to keep your Switch 4007 chassis working at 
its best. This chapter also provides instructions for 
replacing power supplies and fan trays.

WARNING:

Only trained electrical service personnel 

should perform switch connections and 
disconnections.

WARNING:

Hazardous energy levels exist inside of 

the chassis. Do not place hands or objects into the 
switch or touch components on an inserted module.

There are no user-serviceable parts on either the 
load-sharing power supplies or on the fan trays. If 
these components fail, remove them as described in 
this chapter and return them to your supplier. Keep 
replacement power supply units and fan trays at your 
site so that they are available if needed.

This chapter provides information about the 
Switch 4007 chassis and contains the following 
topics:

Routine Maintenance

Removing and Replacing a Power Supply 

Removing and Replacing a Fan Tray

Installing a 16 MB Expansion Memory Card

Routine Maintenance

On a regular basis, inspect your Switch 4007 chassis 
to verify that all blank faceplates are securely attached 
to the chassis, and the fans are running. 

CAUTION:

The Switch 4007 sends a fan fault 

message when one fan fails in the fan tray. However, 
the switch can continue to run if one fan fails in the 
fan tray. If a second or third fan fails, in that fan tray, 
no trap message is generated. Replace the fan tray 
within 48 hours of receiving the trap message or 
contact your service representative. 

Ventilation to the switch is unobstructed. 

All modules are securely seated in the backplane 
and firmly attached to the chassis. 

Module LEDs are functioning normally and show 
normal readings. 

Power requirements for all installed modules are 
met by the power supplies. 

Power cords from each power supply are not 
frayed or damaged. 

Cables that run from each installed module are 
securely attached and in good condition. 

If rack-mounted, the chassis and the cable 
management device are securely attached to the 
rack.
