Replacing Power Supply Modules

Installing a card

To install a card

1 Open the front door of the frame (see

Opening the front door

, on page 10).

2 To install a card into an empty slot, slide the card into the slot, and push gently on the

handle to seat the connectors.

Seating input cards requires more pressure. Inserting the card into the wrong slot will
not damage the card, and will be flagged by the on-card status LED flashing to indicate
that there is no connection to the rear panel.

3 Close the front door of the frame (see

Closing the front door

, on page 10).

Replacing Power Supply Modules

The Kaleido-MX frames support dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies. The basic
configuration includes a single supply, with an empty slot for the optional redundant
power supply. Installing a second power supply module and applying power to it
automatically engages the redundant supply mode. Each power supply has its own power
socket on the rear panel, and should be connected to the AC supply using the power cords
that shipped with your hardware, or other approved cords.

To install or change a power supply module in a Kaleido-MX (3RU)

1 Open the front door of the frame (see

Opening the front door

, on page 10).

2 Remove the controller card, to provide access to the power supply slots (see

Replacing

the CPU-ETH2 Controller Card

, on page 17).

3 Release the retaining spring by turning the captive screw mounted on the lower front

panel of the power supply counterclockwise.

4 Remove the power supply module by pulling on the handle on its front panel and

sliding it out of the frame.

5 Slide the new power supply module into the slot, and push it gently into position to

seat the connectors.

6 Secure the supply in position by turning the captive screw mounted on the lower front

of the power supply clockwise.

This engages a retaining spring which holds the supply securely in place.

7 Replace the controller card.

8 Close the front door of the frame (see

Closing the front door

, on page 10).

Notes

• A single power supply can be installed in either of the two slots.

• Power integrity is enhanced if the two power supplies are plugged into

different circuits.
