Removing and Installing the AC-Input Power Supplies
Installing the 1000 W, 1300 W, 2500 W, 3000 W, 4000 W, 6000 W, and 8700 W AC-Input Power
Supplies
Caution
Use both hands to install and remove power supplies. Each Catalyst 6500 series AC-input power supply
weighs between 14.5 pounds (6.6 kg) and 40 pounds (18.14 kg).
To install an AC-input power supply, follow these steps:
Step 1
Ensure that the system (earth) ground connection has been made. For ground connection instructions,
see the “Establishing the System Ground” section on page 3-52.
Note
If you are installing an 8700 W power supply in a Catalyst 6506, Catalyst 6509, or
Catalyst 6509-NEB chassis, you must install the system (NEBS) ground lug on the system
ground studs on the power supply faceplate rather than the system ground pad on the chassis.
The increased depth of the 8700 W power supply covers the system (NEBS) ground pad on these
three chassis. To install the system ground on the 8700 W power supply, see “Installing the
System Ground on an 8700 W Power Supply” section on page 3-59.

Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
If necessary, remove the blank faceplate (Cisco part number 800-27924-xx) from the chassis power
supply bay opening by loosening the captive installation screw.
Remove the power supply from its shipping packaging.
Verify that the power switch is in the off (0) position on the power supply that you are installing.
(See Figure 4-6.)
Grasp the power supply handle with one hand. Place your other hand underneath the power supply, as
shown in Figure 4-7. Slide the power supply into the power supply bay. Make sure that the power supply
is fully seated in the bay.
Step 6 Tighten the power supply captive installation screw. (See Figure 4-6.)
Step 7
Step 8
If you are installing an 8700 W power supply in a Catalyst 6506, Catalyst 6509, or Catalyst 6509-NEB
chassis, install the system (NEBS) ground lug on the power supply system ground studs. For installation
instructions, see “Installing the System Ground on an 8700 W Power Supply” section on page 3-59
Plug the power cord into the power supply, and tighten the screw on the cable retention device. Refer to
Appendix A for a list of supported AC power cords for your particular AC-input power supply.
Note
The AC power cords for the 4000 W power supply are hard wired to the power supply.
