Power Switch: The power switch has two states: Off (
) and On (|).
Power Management
The W-6000 supports up to three 400 W power supplies. If using one to two primary power supplies for 400 to
800 W of primary power, the use of a 400 W redundant power supply is possible.
For maximum capacity planning, add the maximum power draw required for all of the modules in your chassis
configuration to determine the required number of power supplies.

The following table displays the M3 module configurations, and the resultant power supply configurations and

Inserting a Power Supply
1. Verify you understand the procedure and all precautions.
Before beginning, read the entire procedure. Verify you understand all the precautions in these steps as well as
those on page 10.
2. Select a power supply slot for the power supply.
The 400 W power supply (HW-PSU-400) can be installed in any power supply slot and any power supply
slot can be left empty. That is, there is no specific required order of slots used for power supplies.

.
If you are installing a power supply in an empty slot, you may have to remove the blank cover plate first. To do
this, use a #2 Phillips or cross-head screwdriver. Turn the captive fastening screws on the faceplate counter-
clockwise until they are loose (they cannot be completely removed). Remove the cover plate and store it in a safe
place.
