Chapter 9 Replacement Procedures
Replacing an AC Power Supply Unit During Operations
Warning
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
Note
If a replacement power supply unit is not available and you do not have a blank plate to cover the empty
power supply bay, you should leave the original power supply in the bay until you have the replacement
unit.

Statement 1034
To replace an AC power supply unit while a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch is operating, follow these
steps:
Step 1
Make sure that the power supply units not being replaced have their power switches turned to ON.
Step 2
Turn the power switch on the power supply that you are removing to standby (STBY).
The Output LED turns off.
Step 3
Unplug the power cords from the AC power source. If the power supply unit has only one AC power
cable, unplug just that cable. Otherwise, unplug both AC power cables.
