  Removing and Installing the AC-Input Power Supplies
NoteThe following power supply restrictions exist for the Catalyst 6500 series chassis:
The 6000 W and the 8700 W power supplies are limited to 4000 W when they are installed in the 
Catalyst 6506, Catalyst 6509, and Catalyst 6509-NEB chassis. 
The 8700 W power supply is limited to 4500 W when it is installed in a Catalyst 6509-NEB-A 
chassis. 
The 8700 W power supply is limited to 6000 W when it is installed in a Catalyst 6513 chassis.
Removing and Installing the 950 W and 1400 W AC-Input Power Supplies
This section describes how to remove and install the 950 W and 1400 W AC-input power supplies for 
the Catalyst 6503 and the Catalyst 6503-E switches. The section is divided into the following topics:
Required Tools, page 1-3
Removing a 950 W or 1400 W AC-Input Power Supply, page 1-3
Installing a 950 W or 1400 W AC-Input Power Supply, page 1-5
NoteThe 950 W and 1400 W AC-input power supplies can be installed in the Catalyst 6503 and the 
Catalyst 6503-E switch chassis only.
Required Tools
You might need a flat-blade or number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen or tighten the captive 
installation screws on the power supply.
Removing a 950 W or 1400W AC-Input Power Supply
WarningHazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use 
caution when servicing. Statement 1034
NoteIn systems with redundant power supplies, you can replace the faulty supply while the system is 
operating.
NoteThis procedure covers the removal of the power supply only. For information on removing the power 
entry module (PEM), see the “Removing and Installing PEMs” section on page 1-75.

Chapter 1      Removal and Replacement Procedures
  Removing and Installing the AC-Input Power Supplies
To remove a power supply, follow these steps:
Step 1Turn the power switch to the Off (0) position on the PEM for the power supply that you are removing. 
Figure 1-1 shows the location of the AC-input PEMs on the Catalyst 6503 and Catalyst 6503-E switch 
chassis. 
Step 2Disconnect the power cord from the power source. Do not touch the metal prongs on the power cord 
when it is still connected to the PEM.
Step 3Remove the power cord from the power connection on the PEM. Do not touch the metal prongs 
embedded in the PEM.
Step 4Loosen the captive installation screws on the power supply. See Figure 1-2 for the Catalyst 6503 
and 6503-E switches.
Step 5Grasp the power supply handle with one hand, and slide the power supply part of the way out of the 
chassis. Place your other hand underneath the power supply, as shown in Figure 1-3, and slide the power 
supply completely out of the chassis.
Step 6If the power supply bay is to remain empty, install a blank power supply filler plate (Cisco 
part number 800-16727-01 for the Catalyst 6503 and Catalyst 6503-E switches) over the opening, and 
secure it with the captive installation screws.

  Removing and Installing the AC-Input Power Supplies
Figure 1-3 Handling an AC-Input Power Supply
Installing a 950 W or 1400 W AC-Input Power Supply
To install an AC-input power supply, follow these steps:
Step 1Ensure that the system (earth) ground connection has been made. 
For ground connection instructions, see the “Establishing the System Ground” section on page 1-52.
Step 2If necessary, remove the blank power supply filler plate from the chassis power supply bay opening by 
loosening the captive installation screws.
Step 3Grasp the power supply handle with one hand. Place your other hand underneath the power supply, as 
shown in Figure 1-3. Slide the power supply into the power supply bay. Make sure that the power supply 
is fully seated in the bay.
Step 4Securely tighten the power supply captive installation screws. 
See Figure 1-2 for the Catalyst 6503 and Catalyst 6503-E switches.
CautionPower supply captive installation screws must be tight to ensure protective grounding continuity.
Step 5At the front of the chassis, plug the power cord into the PEM.

Step 6Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC-input power source.
CautionIn a system with dual power supplies, connect each power supply to a separate input source. In case 
of a power source failure, the second source should still be available.
Step 7Turn the PEM power switch to the On (|) position.
Step 8Verify the power supply operation by checking that the power supply LEDs are in the following states:
INPUT OK LED is green
FAN OK LED is green
OUTPUT FAIL LED is not lit
If the LEDs indicate a power problem, see the “Identifying Startup Problems” section on page A-3 for 
troubleshooting information.

Removing and Installing the 1000 W, 1300 W, 2500 W, 3000 W, 4000 W, 6000 W, 
and 8700 W AC-Input Power Supplies
This section describes how to remove and install the 1000 W, 1300 W, 2500 W, 3000 W, 4000 W, 
6000 W, and 8700 W AC-input power supplies in the Catalyst 6500 series switches that support them. 
The section is divided into the following topics:
Required Tools, page 1-9
Removing the 1000 W, 1300 W, 2500 W, 3000 W, 4000 W, 6000 W, and 8700 W AC-Input Power

Supplies, page 1-13
All six power supplies have the same basic form factor and are removed and installed using the same 
procedures. 
NoteInstalling the 8700 W power supply in a Catalyst 6506, Catalyst 6509, or Catalyst 6509-NEB chassis 
requires you to install the system ground wire on the power supply’s system ground lugs rather than on 
the chassis system ground pad. 
NoteIn systems with redundant power supplies, you can replace the faulty supply while the system is 
operating.
Required Tools
You might need a flat-blade or number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen or tighten the captive 
installation screws on the power supply.

Removing the 1000 W, 1300 W, 2500 W, 3000 W, 4000 W, 6000 W, and 8700 W AC-Input Power 
Supplies
WarningHazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution 
when servicing. Statement 1034
To remove an AC-input power supply, follow these steps:
Step 1Turn the power switch to the off (0) position on the power supply that you are removing. 
(SeeFigure 1-6.) Turning the power switch off also disengages a pawl that unlocks the power supply 
from the chassis.
Step 2Disconnect the power cord from the power source.
Step 3If you are removing an 8700 W power supply from a Catalyst 6506, Catalyst 6509, or 
Catalyst 6509-NEB chassis, perform the following substeps to remove the system ground wire from the 
system ground posts on the power supply:
a.Loosen and remove the two M4 nuts securing the system ground lug to the two system ground posts 
on the power supply. Set the two nuts aside.
b.Remove and set aside the two washers from each post.
c.Remove the system ground lug from the system ground posts and set it aside.
Step 4Loosen the screw on the cable retention device, and disconnect the power cord from the power supply 
being removed. 
NoteThe AC power cord for the 4000 W power supply is hard wired to the power supply and cannot 
be removed.
Step 5Loosen the captive installation screw. (See Figure 1-6.)
CautionUse both hands to install and remove power supplies. Catalyst 6500 series AC-input power supplies 
weigh between 14.5 pounds (6.58 kg) and 29.0 pounds (13.15 kg).

Step 6
Grasp the power supply handle with one hand, and slide the power supply part of the way out of the 
chassis. Place your other hand underneath the power supply, as shown in Figure 1-7, and slide the power 
supply completely out of the chassis.
Step 7If the power supply bay is to remain empty, install a blank faceplate (Cisco part number 700-03104-01) 
over the opening, and secure it with the captive installation screw.
Step 8If you have removed an 8700 W power supply from either a Catalyst 6506, Catalyst 6509, or 
Catalyst 6509-NEB chassis and you have disconnected the system (NEBS) ground from the power 
supply system ground studs, make sure that you reattach the system ground lug to either the chassis 
system ground pad if you are not installing a new 8700 W power supply or to the system ground studs 
if you are installing a new 8700 W power supply.
