6C207-3
The 6C207-3 is a 1600-Watt power supply, which has two front-panel ac input power connectors.
The type of power cords shipped with the unit is country-dependent. Each power cord must be
plugged into a separately fused power circuit.
As with the 6C207-1 power supplies, the 6C207-3 is capable of load sharing 50% (+/- 5%) of the
power Matrix E7 chassis power load. If one power supply fails, the other power supply supports
the entire load of the chassis without interruption to network traffic. Refer to
Section 2.1
for power
outlet requirements.
Power Supply LANVIEW LEDs
Each power supply comes equipped with LEDs for at-a-glance diagnostics that indicate individual
power supply status and overall chassis redundancy status. Refer to
Chapter 2

Installation
Requirements and Guidelines
, for a full explanation of the power supply LEDs and their
definitions.
Power Supply Status via Management
The Matrix E7 chassis power supplies report information to the interface modules installed in the
chassis regarding their present operating status as well as the Fan Tray status. This information
includes the following:
•
Power Supply ID (PS1, PS2)
•
Power Supply Status (normal/fault/not installed)
•
Power Supply Redundancy Indication (redundant/not available)
•
Fan Status (normal/fault)
Refer to the module-specific User’s Guide for instructions on how to access power supply status
information via Local Management.
NOTE: Both power cords must be connected to the 6C207-3 for it to operate, and
connected to two separately fused ac power sources to handle the input power
requirements.
CAUTION: Newer models of modules may require more power to operate. If the power
requirement of the module population in a Matrix E7 chassis exceeds the power output
of a single 6C207-1 (1200-Watt) power supply, it is not recommended to install a
6C207-1 (1200-Watt) and a 6C207-3 (1600-Watt) power supply in the same chassis. If
the 6C207-3 fails, the 6C207-1 may not be able to handle the power requirements,
eliminating power redundancy and causing the system to fail and disrupt network traffic.
