FEATURES  
Redundant Power Supply Modules  
The 6C105 supports two power supply modules which reside in the slots  
labeled PS1 and PS2.  
If the 6C105 is configured with a single power supply module it  
must be located in slot PS1.  
!
CAUTION  
Installing one ac power supply and one DC power supply in the  
same chassis is NOT allowed.  
Each power supply module supports an ac input connector that allows  
each power supply to be connected to a separate ac power source.  
Cabletron Systems also offers a power supply module that supports a DC  
input connector that allows each power supply to be connected to a  
separate DC power source. In addition, the power supply modules are  
capable of load sharing 50% (+/- 5%) of the total load presented by the  
6C105. If one of the power supply modules fails, the other power supply  
network traffic.  
Power Supply LANVIEW LEDs  
Each power supply module comes equipped with LEDs for at-a-glance  
diagnostics that indicate individual power supply status and overall  
chassis redundancy status. Refer to Chapter 2, Installation  
Requirements and Specifications, for a full explanation of the power  
supply LEDs and their definitions.  
Power Supply Status Via Local Management  
The 6C105 power supply modules report information to the modules  
installed in the chassis regarding the present operating status. This  
information includes the following:  
Power Supply ID (PS1, PS2)  
Power Supply Status (normal/fault/not installed)  
Power Supply Redundancy Indication (redundant/not available)  
Fan Tray Status (normal/fault/not installed)  
Refer to the module specific User’s Guide for instructions on how to  
access power supply status information via Local Management.

Chapter 1: Introduction  
Auto-Ranging Power Supplies  
The 6C105 power supply modules automatically adjust to the input  
voltage and frequency. No additional adjustments are necessary.  
Hot Swapping  
To reduce network downtime, the power supply modules are also hot  
swappable. This allows for the removal of one power supply without  
powering down the chassis and interrupting network traffic.  
The 6C105 Cooling System  
The 6C105 features a removable fan tray that is accessible from the front  
of the unit. This unit is hot swappable, which allows it to be replaced  
without powering down the chassis. The fan tray has one LANVIEW  
LED located on the front of the unit. This LED indicates the status of the  
fan tray (normal or fault). Refer to Chapter 2 for a full description of fan  
tray LED states and their definitions.  
Rack Mountable Chassis  
The 6C105 can be mounted into a standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) equipment  
rack. The 6C105 chassis has rackmount brackets built into the chassis for  
ease of installation.

performance may result.  
In order to allow proper cooling within the rack, there must be  
3 inches of clearance above the unit and 2 inches of clearance on either  
side of the unit.  
If the 6C105 is to be placed on a shelving unit, the shelf must be able  
to support 75 pounds of static weight.  
If the 6C105 is to be rack mounted, care must be taken to ensure that  
the rack used will support the unit and that the rack remains stable with  
the 6C105 installed.  
The 6C105 ac power supplies require a standard three-pronged power  
receptacle that is located within 6 feet of the site.  
The temperature of the location must be maintained between 5° and  
40°C (41° to 104°F). Temperature changes of greater than 10°C (18°F)  
per hour must not occur.  
The 6C205-2 DC power supply requires a 10 AWG solid copper  
conducter with #6 ring terminals.

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

4. Slide the power supply module into the slot labeled PS1 as follows:  
a. Hold the module by placing one hand on the handle located on the  
module front panel and using the other hand to support the body  
of the module.  
b. With the LED at the top of the power supply module, align the  
circuit card of the power supply module with the slotted paths on  
the top and bottom of the opening.  
Forcing a misaligned module into place can damage the  
module and/or the chassis backplane.  
!
CAUTION  
c. With the power supply inserted into the slotted paths, carefully  
slide the module forward until it is connected to the backplane  
with the front panel flush with the face of the 6C105. Do not force  
the module into place. If significant resistance is encountered  
before the front panel is flush, remove and reinsert the power  
supply.  
d. Secure the power supply to the chassis by using a screwdriver to  
tighten the two slotted screws on the top and bottom of the power  
supply. For proper chassis grounding, the screws must be properly  
tightened.  
5. If you are installing a second power supply, remove the blank plate  
from the second power supply slot (keep the blank plate in the event  
you need to remove the power supply), and repeat steps 1– 4.
