    SNMP trap. If you are operating your C7004/C150 chassis with a redundant power supply, you can install, remove, or replace a power supply without affecting system operation. If you are operating your C7004/C150 system with only one power supply, you must completely power off the system to replace a power supply NOTE: If a power supply fails, the entire unit must be replaced.

  • Page 34: Power Cord Requirements

    If you are not replacing the power supply, insert a panel blank. Power Cord Requirements If using a power cord other then a Dell Networking supplied power cord, the power source end of the power cord must have an appropriately sized plug that complies with your local electrical codes.

    AC and DC. • If you select DC, the C7004/C150 requires at least one DC PEM for operation, but Dell Networking recommends a one-plus-one redundancy configuration. Those DC PEMs are inserted in slots 0 and 2.

  • Page 36: Installing A Dc Pem

    • Rated for 60A service to allow for a fully loaded C7004/C150 system per NEC in the United States or internationally, per local safety codes. • Limit voltage drop across the cable length to 0.5V or less. Apply a coat of anti-oxidant paste to unplated metal contact surfaces before you make the cable connections.
  • Page 37 Step Task (continued) Slide the PEM into either power slot 0 or 2 (see (Figure 8-2). If you are installing redundant PEMS, install in both slots 0 and 2. NOTE: Fill all empty slots with blank panels (power supply blank). Figure 8-2.
  • Page 38 Step Task (continued) Connect the -48 VDC and Return cables from each PEM to the remote power sources. Verify that the remote power source is in the OFF position. Locate the appropriate studs on the PEM front panel. • The two right-handed studs (furthest from the GND) are the return (+48V DC) connection. The cable attached to these studs is typically red.
