There may be moderate resistance as the module comes free from its connections with the chassis backplane, but do not use excessive force. When the module is fully disengaged from the backplane, power to the working fans is lost and they will gradually stop spinning. CAUTION--The fans will continue to spin for a short while, even though there is no power to them. Wait for the fans to stop spinning before removing the fan tray. Also, when hot swapping, once the fans stop spinning, the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch will continue to operate, though heat will begin to build in the operational components. From this point, there is a limited time (approximately one minute) before installation of the new fan tray must be completed. 3 Fully remove the fan tray and place it safely aside. Once disengaged, the fan tray should easily slide out of the switch chassis. 20 Part 031639-00 May 2005 Chapter 4 Insert the New Fan Tray 1 Pick up the new fan tray by the handle provided on its front panel. Carefully insert the fan tray into the chassis fan tray slot. Align the rear of the fan tray with the guide rails in the switch fan tray slot and slide it gently toward the backplane.The module should slide in easily most of the way. 2 3 Engage the fan tray. As the fan tray reaches the back of the chassis, moderate resistance may be felt. Press firmly so the connectors at the back of the module engage with the backplane, but do not use excessive force. When hot swapping the fan tray and when the connectors are properly engaged, power to the fans should be restored and they should start spinning. 4 Check the fans to verify all of them are working. Once power has been restored to the fan tray, either by engaging the module to the backplane during hot-swap or by turning on system power after a cold-swap, the Fan Status LED should be green and you should be able to feel significant airflow blowing from the chassis vents at each fan position. If the fans are all working, this ends the time critical portion of the hot-swap procedure. If one of the fans in a newly hot-swapped fan tray does not work (yellow Fan Status LED), allow at least three minutes for the remaining fans to cool the switch before attempting another hot-swap replacement. CAUTION--If two or more fans in the newly hot-swapped fan tray do not work (the Fan Status LED is red or off), shut down the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch, replace the fan tray, and allow the switch at least five minutes to cool before turning it back on. 5 Secure the fan tray. Use the screwdriver to push in and tighten both of the fastening screws on the faceplate of the newly installed fan tray. Rotate the screws clockwise until moderate resistance is felt, but do not over-tighten. The Fan Tray 21 OmniAccess 6000: Installation Guide 22 Part 031639-00 May 2005 CHAPTER 5 The Power Supply The Alcatel 6000-series Power Supply adapts electrical power for use with the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch. The switch chassis has multiple slots that can hold individual power supplies to support load sharing and fault tolerance. This chapter describes the general features and physical characteristics of the power supply. It also covers important power consumption management information and includes a Power Supply Management Worksheet. The final sections of the chapter cover the steps required to insert and remove power supplies. Features Rating There are two different power supplies available for the Alcatel 6000-series Wireless LAN Switch The standard 200 W Power Supply (OWA-6000-PS200) This standard power supply is rated at 200 W total output and is auto-ranging to accept 90-135/ 170-264 VAC, at 50 to 60 Hz. Up to two 200 W power supplies can be installed in the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch in power supply slots 1 and 3 only. NOTE--The 200 W power supply cannot be installed in power supply slot 2. The optional 400 W Power Supply (OWA-6000-PS400) This optional power supply is rated at 400 W total output and is auto-ranging to accept 85 to 264 VAC, at 50 to 60 Hz. Up to three 400 W power supplies can be installed in the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch. The Power Supply 23 OmniAccess 6000: Installation Guide Load Sharing Load sharing occurs when more than one power supply of the same rating are installed in the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch and turned on. Load sharing divides the total power load of the switch among all available power supplies. Since the power supplies work together, the effective power capacity of the switch is increased with each additional power supply. NOTE--When using more than power supply, verify that they are all of the same type. Do not mix 200 W and 400 W power supplies in the same chassis. Redundancy With power redundancy, the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch can continue normal operation even when a power supply fails or is turned off. When multiple power supplies are installed, if one becomes unavailable (fails, or is turned off or removed) the remaining power supplies will attempt to provide full power for the switch. If the switch's total power load does not exceed the combined rated output of the remaining, operational power supplies, the switch will continue to operate. NOTE--This feature depends on the number and type of modules installed in your Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch. For details, see "Power Management" on page 27. Hot Swap Hot swapping should be performed by a trained technician. Hot swapping allows you to replace one failed power supply while the others provide full power. This makes it unnecessary to shut down the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch during the replacement procedure. Hot swapping is supported only when power redundancy is in effect. This requires that after the target power supply is removed, the switch's total power load does not exceed the combined rated output of the remaining power supplies. NOTE--This feature depends on the number and type of modules installed in your Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch.
