Chapter 3: 6C105 Setup
3-6 6C105 Overview and Setup Guide
3.2.5 Installing a Power Supply Module
You must install at least one power supply in the 6C105 chassis. One
power supply provides sufficient power for most module configurations
but a second power supply can be installed to provide a redundant, load
sharing power source. When two power supplies are installed, the load is
evenly distributed. If one power supply fails for any reason, the second
power supply assumes the load.
The 6C105 power supplies must be installed in the two slots labeled PS1
and PS2 on the far right side of the chassis (Figure 3-4). If you intend to
install a single power supply it must be installed in the slot labeled PS1 in
the chassis. A flat blade screwdriver is needed to install the power supply
module(s).
To install the power supply(ies) into the 6C105 chassis, refer to
Figure 3-4 and proceed as follows:
1. Unpack the power supply by removing it from the shipping box and
sliding the two foam end caps off the unit. (Save the shipping box and
materials in the event the unit must be reshipped.)
2. Remove the power supply from its protective plastic bag. (Save the
shipping box and materials in the event the unit must be reshipped.)
3. Examine the power supply carefully, checking for damage. If any
damage is noted, DO NOT install the power supply. Contact the
Cabletron Systems Global Call Center immediately.

CAUTION
If the 6C105 is configured with a single power supply module, it
must be located in slot PS1.
