Step 10 If you have removed any fan modules before moving the chassis, reinstall each one in the chassis as follows:
a. Holding each of the two handles on the fan module with your two hands, align the fan module to an open fan module
slot.
Note
b. Slide the fan module into the slot until the front of the fan module comes in contact with the rear of the chassis.
Note
c. Screw in the four captive screws to the chassis and tighten each screw to 8 in-lb (0.9 N·m).
Step 11
If you have removed any power supplies before moving the chassis, reinstall each one as follows:
a. Determine which power supply slots to fill and ensure that each of those slots is open.
If you are using the combined or power supply redundancy mode, you can use any slot for the power supply that
you are installing.
If you are using the input-source or full redundancy mode, you must group the power supplies that are to be connected
to the same grid on either the left or right power supply slots in the chassis (that is, place the power supplies for
grid A in slots 1 or 2 or both slots and place the power supplies for grid B in slots 3 or 4 or both slots).
For information on the power supplies supported by Cisco MDS 9700 series switches, see the
under the Product Overview chapter.
b. Place one hand on the front of the power supply and place your other hand under it to support its weight.
c. Align the power supply to an open power supply slot.
