Using an ESD Wrist Strap to Prevent ESD Damage
Before you touch any switch modules, you must ground yourself to protect the modules from electrostatic discharge (ESD). You can ground yourself by wearing an ESD wrist strap connected to a grounded chassis or a grounded rack.
Caution Always handle modules by their carrier edges (typically the covered bottom, sides, and front of the module) and never touch the circuitry on the module.
Before you begin You must have a grounding connection close to where you are installing components in the chassis.
Step 1 Attach or wrap an ESD wrist strap to your arm.

Installing or Replacing a Supervisor Module

Installing or Replacing a Supervisor Module
You can install or replace a supervisor module during switch operations so long as there is another supervisor module installed and operating on the switch. If you eject the active supervisor from its slot in a chassis with two supervisor modules, operations automatically switch over to the standby supervisor module. If you need to replace a supervisor in a chassis with just one supervisor, you can install the new supervisor in the open supervisor slot, make the new supervisor active, and remove the other supervisor module.
Note If you remove a supervisor module without replacing it, you must fill the slot with a blank filler plate to maintain the designed airflow for the chassis.

Before you begin

Caution The system will shut down when you remove the single supervisor module in the Cisco Nexus 7702 chassis.
· You must follow ESD protocols, including the following: · You must wear a grounded ESD wristband (or other personal grounding device) whenever you handle the electronic modules outside the grounded chassis. · You must carry electronic modules by only their covered edges or handles. Do not touch their electronic components. · Whenever a module is outside a grounded chassis, place it flat on an antistatic surface or in an antistatic bag. Never lean the module on anything nor place anything else on top of the module nor lean anything on the module.
· Verify that the chassis is grounded. · Verify that you have the following tools and equipment:
· ESD wrist strap (or other personal grounding device) · Number 1 Phillips torque screwdriver
Manual torque screwdrivers are recommended. Be sure to never exceed the recommended torque setting for the screw that you are working with. · Replacement supervisor module
· Supervisor 2E (N77-SUP2E=)

Step 1

If you need to remove a supervisor module to open the slot for a new module, follow these steps (if you already have an open slot, go to the next step):
Note If the slot that you need to open has a blank filler plate, remove the plate by unscrewing its captive screw and pulling on the handle attached to the plate to remove the plate, and go to Step 3).

To migrate from Supervisor 2E modules to Supervisor 3E modules, follow these steps:
Before you begin · Before migrating from Supervisor 2E modules to Supervisor 3E modules, note the following guidelines: · This migration process is disruptive because the power must be turned off for the switch. · You cannot mix Supervisor 2E and Supervisor 3E modules in a production environment.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4
Step 5

Insert a USB drive in the usb1 or the slot0 USB port on the active supervisor 2E module. We will use the usb1 port for the steps given below. Format the drive by using the format command. switch(config)# format usb1
Copy all of the VDC configurations for the switch to the USB drive by using the copy running-config command. switch(config)# copy running-config usb1:configuration_file_name vdc-all
Backup the installed licenses for the switch to the USB drive by using the copy licenses command. switch(config)# copy licenses usb1:licenses_archive_file_name.tar Note You must use the tar extension for the archive file. This file will contain all of the license files that were
installed on the Supervisor 2E module.

Step 12 Step 13

Turn off the power to the switch using the power switch on each power supply. The Output LED turns off on each power supply and the Status LEDs turn off on all of the supervisor and I/O modules.
Caution If any of the supervisor or I/O module Status LEDs is turned on (showing any color), stop at this step until you are able to turn off those modules.
For each Supervisor 2E module installed in the switch, remove the module and replace it with a Supervisor 3E module as explained in Installing or Replacing a Supervisor Module, on page 3.
Caution If the switch has two supervisor modules, ensure that both supervisors are of the same type. Do not mix Supervisor 2E modules with Supervisor 3E modules.
Power up the switch by using the power switch on each of its power supplies. The Output LED on each power supply turns on and eventually turns green when the power supply is sending power to the switch. The Status LED on each installed supervisor module also turns on when the module begins to turn on. The supervisor that becomes active has a green ACTIVE LED (the standby supervisor module has an amber ACTIVE LED). Remove the USB drive from the Supervisor 2E module (this drive has the copies of the Supervisor 2E configuration, license, and software images) and insert it in the USB port on the active Supervisor 3E module (ACTIVE LED is green). Connect a console to the active supervisor module as explained in Connecting a Console to the Switch. If you are setting up the initial configuration for the supervisor module, the initial setup script will ask you if you want to enforce the secure password standard. Make your selection, enter your password, and then confirm the password by entering it again.

Nondisruptive Migration from Supervisor 2E Modules (N77-SUP2E) to Supervisor 3E Modules (N77-SUP3E)
Nondisruptive Migration from Supervisor 2E Modules (N77-SUP2E) to Supervisor 3E Modules (N77-SUP3E) has the following limitations:
· Do not change any configuration settings or network connections during the upgrade.
· Configuration mode is blocked during the migration procedure to prevent any changes.
· You cannot press Control+C to abort the migration procedure until 45 minutes have elapsed since the migrate sup kickstart system

command has been used. · Before you initiate the migration procedure, you must first remove QoS policies and ACLs from interfaces that are in the down state. The clear inactive-config qos command, that clears inactive configuration, will delete the port channel policies even if one of the ports in a port channel has inactive policies. Guidelines for manual policy removal: · During manual removal, when the interface is part of a port channel, remove the policy map or access list from the port channel or remove the interface from the port channel before initiating the migration procedure. · For all other interface types, please remove the policy map or access list from the interface. · The migrate sup kickstart system command that is used to initiate the non-disruptive migration process is only available in global config mode. · Ensure that the Supervisor-3E module has not been inserted in the standby slot before using the migrate sup kickstart system command. If the supervisor-3E module has already been inserted in the standby slot, the migration process will be aborted and the supervisor-3E module will be powered down. · Do not reload or manually insert or remove any I/O or fabric module after using the migrate sup kickstart system command. Any removal or insertion of I/O or fabric modules has to be done before initiating the migration process or after the migration is completed. · Do not remove or insert any Fabric Extender (FEX) modules during migration. · Insert the standby Supervisor-3E module into the chassis only when you are prompted to insert the Supervisor-3E module during migration by a message on the system console. · After the Supervisor-3E module has been inserted during the migration process, do not remove or manually reload the standby Supervisor-3E module. · Do not insert or remove any transceivers from any modules while the migration is in progress. · Do not remove any power supply modules or fan modules during the migration process.

· Do not copy any configurations using the copy running-config startup-config command or the copy running-config startup-config vdc-all from any other management session while migration is in progress.
· Do not trigger any EPLD or BIOS upgrades during migration. · Do not trigger any ISSU during migration. · Do not perform migration from fabric module-2 to fabric module-3 during the supervisor-2E to
supervisor-3E migration. · Take a backup of the licenses and configuration before starting the migration procedure. In case of any
failure or loss of licenses and configuration in Supervisor-2E, disruptive migration has to be done to upgrade to Supervisor- 3E. In such a scenario, all configurations and licenses have to be applied or installed again. Backup the installed licenses from the switch to a USB drive by using the copy licenses command. To view the current licenses installed on the switch, use the show license command. switch# copy licenses usb1:.tar
· Ensure that there is sufficient power in the chassis before starting the migration process. In case of a power failure, redundant power supplies can then take over and migration will not be disrupted.
· Downgrade to supervisor-2E modules from supervisor-3E modules is a disruptive procedure.
Prerequisites for Nondisruptive Migration from Supervisor 2E Modules (N77-SUP2E) to Supervisor 3E Modules (N77-SUP3E)
· The minimum supported release for this procedure is Cisco NX-OS Release 8.4(1). If you are using an image older than Cisco NX-OS Release 8.4(1), upgrade to Cisco NX-OS Release 8.4(1), and then perform nondisruptive migration from Supervisor 2E modules to Supervisor 3E modules.
· We recommend that you use a console connection to perform the migration procedure. In case you do not have a console connection and are using an SSH/Telnet connection, use the terminal monitor command to display all the syslogs mentioned in the below procedures.
· Back up the running configuration from the current active supervisor module to the FTP/SFTP/TFTP server, or a USB flash drive.

Case 1: Dual Supervisor Migration

Note

· After removing the supervisor 2E module from the switch, you have to insert the replacement supervisor

3E module into the switch within a period of 30 minutes after using the migrate sup kickstart

system command. In case you have not inserted the

supervisor 3E module within 30 minutes after using this command, migration is aborted and you have to

use the command again to reinitiate the migration process.

· After the supervisor 3E module is inserted in the slot, a timeout of 45 minutes is triggered for the supervisor 3E module to power up and come online. If the supervisor 3E module fails to power up and come online at the first attempt, a retry is initiated every 15 minutes. In case the supervisor 3E module fails to come online after 3 retries or 45 minutes, you have to remove the supervisor 3E module and restart the migration process by using the migrate sup kickstart system command.

System switchover is then initiated. This process moves the supervisor 3E module from the HA-standby mode to Active mode. The SSH/telnet session is disconnected during the switchover. You have to then reconnect to the SSH/telnet session. Also, ensure that the console link and the management link is connected to the newly inserted supervisor-3E module.

Reset (powered-down) because of incompatible configuration

After the supervisor 3E module has been moved to Active mode, non-disruptive migration from supervisor 2E modules to supervisor 3E modules is completed. A console message, SUP3_MIGRATION_COMPLETE, is then displayed.

You can now power down and remove the other supervisor 2E module, and replace it with a Supervisor 3E module. This supervisor 3E module will come up in HA- standby mode.

Case 2: Single Supervisor Migration
To perform non-disruptive migration from Supervisor 2E modules to Supervisor 3E modules in a switch that has only the active supervisor module installed and there is no standby supervisor module, follow these steps:

Step 1 Step 2

Copy the Cisco NX-OS Release 8.4(1) kickstart and system images to the active supervisor module bootflash, using an FTP or TFTP server.
switch# copy tftp://tftpserver.cisco.com/n7700/n7700-s3-kickstart.8.4.1.bin bootflash:n7700-s3-kickstart.8.4.1.bin
switch# copy tftp://tftpserver.cisco.com/n7700/n7700-s3-dk9.8.4.1.bin bootflash:system n7700-s3-dk9.8.4.1.bin
Use the migrate sup kickstart system <sup3-system- image> command in config mode to initiate the migration process. This command triggers image version compatibility checks before initiating the migration process to ensure that the image being used is compatible with the supervisor 3E module.
· A message then appears on the console asking for confirmation to continue the migration procedure. Type Yes on the console prompt to continue with the migration procedure.
· Configuration commands are now blocked.
· The migrate sup kickstart system <sup3-system- image>command will then check if it has to initiate a single supervisor or dual supervisor migration process by checking if there is a standby supervisor 2E module installed in the switch. In this procedure, the switch does not have a standby supervisor module.
· You can use the show modulecommand to display the modules installed in the switch.

Insert the supervisor 3E module in the other switch supervisor slot, as explained in the Installing or Replacing a Supervisor Module section. When the supervisor 3E module is detected in the standby supervisor slot, a netboot is initiated with the image that is provided by using the migrate sup kickstart

system command.

Note

· You have to insert the supervisor 3E module into the switch within a period of 30 minutes after using the

migrate sup kickstart system command. In case you

have not inserted the supervisor 3E module within 30 minutes after using this command, migration is

aborted and you have to use the command again to reinitiate the migration process.

· After the supervisor 3E module is inserted in the slot, a timeout of 45 minutes is triggered for the supervisor 3E module to power up and come online. If the supervisor 3E module fails to power up and come online at the first attempt, a retry is initiated every 15 minutes. In case the supervisor 3E module fails to come online after 3 retries or 45 minutes, you have to remove the supervisor 3E module and restart the migration process by using the migrate sup kickstart system command.

Installing or Replacing an I/O Module
Before you begin · You must follow ESD protocols, including the following: · You must wear a grounded ESD wristband (or other personal grounding device) whenever you handle the electronic modules outside the grounded chassis. · You must carry electronic modules by only their covered edges or handles. Do not touch their electronic components. · Whenever a module is outside a grounded chassis, place it flat on an antistatic surface or in an antistatic bag. Never lean the module on anything nor place anything else on top of the module nor lean anything on the module.
· Verify that the chassis is grounded. · Verify that you have the following tools and equipment:
· Number 1 Phillips torque screwdriver
Note Manual torque screwdrivers are recommended. Be sure to never exceed the recommended torque setting for the screw that you are working with.
· Replacement or new I/O module

Installing or Replacing an I/O Module

Note You can replace an I/O module with another I/O module while the switch is operational. To do this action, you must first remove an I/O module from the chassis, and then install a new or replacement I/O module in the newly vacated slot within a couple of minutes to maintain the designed airflow.

Step 1

Open a slot in the chassis for the new I/O module as follows:
Note If you need to remove a blank filler plate from the slot, unscrew the captive screws on either side of the module and pull the handle on the plate to remove it from the slot. Continue with Step 2.
a) Disconnect all of the networking cables attached to the front of the I/O module to be removed. b) Unscrew the captive screw on each side of the module until the screws are loose and no longer connected to the
chassis (see Callout 1 in the following figure).

Replacing a Fan Tray
You can replace a fan tray module during operations so long as there are at least two other fan tray modules operating in the chassis. We recommend that you put a switch in fan tray maintenance mode before removing a fan tray. You can also remove a fan tray in order to replace one of the two fabric modules installed behind it. When not replacing a fan tray or a fabric module, there should be three fan trays operating in the chassis.
Note You have up to 72 hours to replace one fan tray as long as the switch air-inlet temperature does not exceed 86° Fahrenheit (30° C). If the temperature exceeds 86° Fahrenheit (30° C), the switch will shut down in 3 minutes. If you remove more than one fan tray at a time, the switch can operate up to three minutes before shutting down. To prevent a shutdown, remove only one fan tray at a time.
Starting from Cisco NX-OS Release 7.2(0)D1(1), use the hardware fan-tray maintenance-mode [long | medium | short] command to prepare a switch for fan tray removal. By default, the fans run at 100 percent speed for approximately 4 minutes to prepare for fan tray removal when the hardware fan-tray maintenance-mode command is used. Starting from Cisco NX-OS Release 8.1(1), by default, the fans run at 85 percent speed for approximately 4 minutes to prepare for fan tray removal when the hardware fan-tray maintenance-mode command is used.
Use the long keyword to run the fans at 65 percent speed for approximately 9 minutes to prepare for fan tray removal. Use the medium keyword to run the fans at 75 percent speed for approximately 6 minutes to prepare for fan tray removal. Use the short keyword to run the fans at 85 percent speed for approximately 4 minutes to prepare for fan tray removal. For more information about the hardware fan-tray maintenance-mode, see Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX- OS System Management Command Reference.

Replacing a Fan Tray

The fan tray maintenance mode will be cancelled in the following cases:
· If a temperature alarm is present.
· Hot-inlet temperature (Sup inlet temperature >= 30 degrees Celsius)
· Fan-tray is absent.
· Post-cool period (time elapsed after fan tray removal) has crossed 4 minutes.
Note Fan tray maintenance mode is cancelled and fan speed is set to normal if fan tray migration or replacement is completed within 2 minutes of using the hardware fan-tray maintenance-mode command. If fan tray migration or replacement is not completed within 2 minutes, the remaining fan trays run at 85 percent speed for the next 2 minutes, and at 100 percent speed from then on.
· Pre-cool period (time elapsed before fan tray removal) has crossed 1 hour and 9 minutes–The fan tray has not been removed since the past 1 hour and 9 minutes during which the switch was ready for fan tray removal.
The following example shows the syslogs that are generated when the fan speed increases due to a minor temperature alarm:

Installing or Replacing a Fabric Module
The fabric modules are located as follows behind the fan trays on the back side of the chassis:
· Fabric slots 1 and 2 are behind fan tray slot 1
· Fabric slots 3 and 4 are behind fan tray slot 2
· Fabric slots 5 and 6 are behind fan tray slot 3
When the fan trays are installed, they display the LED states for the fabric modules installed behind them.
You can install a fabric module during operations so long as there is at least one other fabric module installed and functioning in the chassis. To install or replace a fabric module, you must first remove the fan tray that is in front of the fabric module. If the chassis has fewer than six fabric modules, leave the empty slots unfilled–the fan tray that you place outside the fabric modules maintains the designed airflow for the chassis.
Before you begin
· The chassis must be grounded.
· You must be wearing wearing an ESD wrist strap (or other ESD prevention device) that is connected to the ESD port on the grounded chassis.
· Starting from Cisco NX-OS Release 7.2(0)D1(1), put the switch in fan tray maintenance mode to prepare the switch for fan tray removal.

Step 1

Remove the fan tray that covers the fabric module that you are replacing by following these steps:
a) Loosen four captive screws on the fan tray until they are loose and are no longer connected to the chassis. b) Grab both handles with both of your hands and pull the bottom of the fan tray out so that its connectors disconnect
from the chassis (see the following figure).

Scenario 1
If both Fabric 2 and Fabric 3 modules are up in the switch (FAB2_FAB3 mode), then replace the Fabric 3 modules with the Fabric 2 modules.
Scenario 2
If the switch is loaded with Fabric 3 modules only (FAB3 mode), then migrating to Fabric 2 is disruptive. The Fabric 2 module will power down when the switch is in FAB3 mode.
Perform the steps given below to replace FAB3 modules with FAB2 modules when the switch is loaded with only FAB3 modules:

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Step 4 Step 5

Replace one FAB3 module with a FAB2 module. The switch is still in FAB3 mode.
The FAB2 module will be in power down state.
Repeat Step 1 to replace FAB3 modules with FAB2 modules in all slots until a single FAB3 module is remaining in the switch.
Remove the last FAB3 module. The I/O modules will be powered down due to non- availability of Stage2 bandwidth.
Insert a FAB2 module in the slot from which the last FAB3 module was removed. This FAB2 module will power up and all the I/O modules will also power up in FAB2 mode.

Step 6

After all the I/O modules come online, power up the remaining FAB2 modules by using the no poweroff xbar moduleNumber command.

Installing or Replacing a Power Supply in a Switch Chassis
You can install up to eight power supplies of the following types: · 3-kW AC power supply (N77-AC-3KW) · 3-kW DC power supply (N77-DC-3KW) · 3.5-kW HVAC/HVDC power supply (N77-HV-3.5KW)
If you leave any power supply slots empty, you must install a blank filler plate (N77-3KPS-BLANK-H=) in that slot to maintain the designed airflow.

Note The chassis ships with power supplies already installed but you can optionally remove the power supplies to make the chassis lighter for the installation.
You follow the same steps to install AC, DC and HVAC/HVDC power supplies into the switch, but you ground them differently. For an AC and HVAC/HVDC power supply, you automatically ground it when you connect its power cable to the power supply and the power source. For a 3-kW DC power supply, you do not directly connect the power supply to the earth ground.
Before you begin
· The switch chassis must be installed in a cabinet or rack that is secured to the data center.
You need the following additional tools and equipment:
· Nut driver attachment for Number 1 Phillips-head screwdriver or ratchet wrench with torque capability (used only for DC power supplies)
· Crimping tool
· For 3-kW DC power supplies, you need four power cables sized to reach the DC power source or power interface unit (PIU)
· Grounding wire–Size this wire to meet local and national installation requirements. For U.S. installations, you must use a 6 AWG copper conductor. For installations outside the U.S., consult your local and national electrical codes. The length of the grounding wire depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding facilities.

Step 1

If you need to open a power supply slot for another power supply, follow these steps: Note If you neet to remove a blank filler plate, unscrew its captive screws and pull it off the chassis. Go to Step 2.
a) Turn off the power for the power supply that you are removing, as follows:

Installing or Replacing Modules, Fan Trays, and Power Supplies

Installing or Replacing a Power Supply in a Switch Chassis

1. Ensure that the power switch on the front of the power supply is set to standby (labelled as 0). The Output LED turns off.
2. Verify that the Output LED turns off. If the LED is still on, return to Step 1.
3. If you are removing a DC power supply, ensure that the power is turned off at the power source by turning off the power for that circuit, and verify that the Input LEDs turn off.
b) If you are removing a power supply, detach the power and ground cables as follows: · For a 3-kW AC power supply, unplug the power cables that are attached to the power supply and the power source.
· For a 3-kW DC power supply, open the terminal box, and use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the power cables from their terminals. Replace the terminal box cover. Remove the power cables from the power source.
· For a 3.5-kW HVAC/HVDC power supply, release the built-in latch and unplug the power cable from the power source.
c) Remove the power supply or blank filler plate from the power supply slot as follows: Note To remove a blank filler plate, unscrew its captive screws and pull on its handle to remove the plate from the slot.
· For a 3-kW power supply, press its ejector latch to the left, pull the power supply part way out of the slot by its handle, place your other hand under the module to support its weight, and pull it fully from the slot.
· For a 3.5-kW HVAC/HVDC power supply, disconnect the power cable from the power supply by pressing the release button on the power cable, pull the power supply part way out of the slot by its handle, place your other hand under the module to support its weight, and pull it fully from the slot.

Step 2

Install the new power supply in the open slot as follows: a) Verify that the power switch on the front of the new power supply is set to standby (labelled as 0) and that the power
supply is not connected to any power sources. b) Hold the handle on the power supply with one hand, place your other hand under the power supply to support its
weight, and position the power supply with its back end at the open power supply bay. c) Slide the unit all the way into the power supply bay until one of the following situations occurs:
· For a 3-kW power supply, the release latch on the front of the power supply clicks and prevents you from moving the power supply in or out of the chassis. This action completes the mounting of the power supply on this chassis.
· For a 3.5-kW power supply, the built-in latch secures the power cable to the power supply.

What to do next · For an AC and HVAC/HVDC (when used with an input AC source) power supply, you must connect it to an AC power source (see the Connecting a 3-kW AC Power Supply to AC Power Sources and Connecting a 3.5-kW HVAC/HVDC Power Supply to AC Power Sources topic). The power supply will be automatically grounded through its power cable. · For a 3-kW DC power supply, you must connect the power supply to the DC power source (see the “Connecting a DC Power Supply to DC Power Sources” topic).

Connecting a 3-kW AC Power Supply to AC Power Sources
You use one power cord to connect a 3-kW power supply to its AC power source and to ground the power supply. Depending on the power mode that you use for the switch, you either connect all of the power supplies to one AC power source or you connect half of the power supplies to one AC power source and the other half to another AC power source:
· For combined power mode (no power redundancy), you need enough power supplies to power all switch operations and connect all of the power supplies to the same AC power source. You can install the power supplies in any open power supply slot in the chassis.
· For power supply redundancy mode (n+1 redundancy mode), you need enough power supplies to power all switch operations and one extra power supply that can replace a failing power supply. You connect all power supplies to the same AC power source. You can install the power supplies in any open power supply slot in the chassis.
· For input source redundancy (grid redundancy) mode or full redundancy mode, you need twice the number of power supplies needed to power the switch operations. You connect half of the power supplies to one power source for active power and the other half to another power source for redundant power. You must ensure that the power supplies on the left side of the chassis (slots 1, 2, 5, and 6) are connected to one grid and that the power supplies on the right side of the chassis(slots 3, 4, 7, and 8) are connected to the other grid.
Before you begin
Before you connect power supplies to one or two power sources, ensure all of the following: · You have receptacles for one or two AC power sources within reach of the power supply cables. The number of power sources depends on the power mode to be used for the switch. · Combined power (no power redundancy)–One AC power source
· Power supply redundancy (n+1 redundancy)–One AC power source
· Input source redundancy (power-grid redundancy)–Two AC power sources
· Full redundancy–Two AC power sources
· The AC power sources are rated as follows: · For North American installations–20A with 110V or 220V circuits.
· For international installations–size the circuits by local and national standards.
· The power supply is already installed in the chassis.
· The chassis is connected to an earth ground.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Ensure that the power supply switch located on the front of the power supply is set at standby (labeled as 0). Plug one AC power cable into the power supply, and pull down the retention clip over the plug on the power cable. Plug the other end of the power cable into a AC power source supplied by the data center.

Step 4

Remove the three screws that hold down the safety cover for the terminal box on the front of the DC power supply and remove the cover (see the following figure).
Note The terminal box has four slots for four power terminals (ordered as negative [-], positive [+], positive [+], and negative [-]). Each terminal has two nuts that you use to fasten a power cable to the terminal.
Figure 14: Removing the Safety Cover for the Terminal Box on a 3-kW DC Power Supply

Step 5 Step 6

1 Remove three screws from the safety cover.

2 Remove the cover.

Install four cables (two positive and two negative cables) in the four terminal slots as follows: a) Unscrew the two nuts in each of the four terminal slots. b) Attach and crimp each lug to the end of each power cable. c) Attach each cable lug to the two terminal posts in each slot, fasten with two nuts, and tighten to 40 in-lb (4.5 N·m).
Note For all your power connections, if you are using cables with two different colors, use one color cable for all positive circuits and the other color for all negative circuits.

d) Replace the safety cover on the terminal box and fasten with three screws.
Install the four cables from the DC power supply to a DC power source as follows:
a) If the unconnected end of each power cable is not stripped of its insulation for the last 0.75 inches (19 mm), use wire strippers to remove that amount of insulation.
b) Attach the negative cables to the negative terminals of a DC power source, and attach the positive cables to the positive terminals of the same power source.
Note If you are using combined power mode or power supply redundancy mode, connect all the power supplies in the chassis to the same power source. If you are using input source redundancy mode or full redundancy mode, connect half the power supplies to one DC power source and the other half of the power supplies to another DC power source.

Step 7 Step 8

For the powered down circuits connected to the power supplies, turn on the power at the circuit breaker. The Input 1 (IN1) and Input 2 (IN2) LEDs turn on each connected power supply.
Turn on the power supply by setting the power switch to 1. The LEDs should flash and then the Output LED should turn on in addition to the Input LEDs.
