AC Power Supply

In a dual redundant Power Supply configuration, the Power Supplies are hot-swappable meaning that a Power Supply may be replaced without powering down the SBC 5000 series platform (provided that the redundant Power Supply is operational).


Important
Before replacing a Power Supply in a redundant Power Supply configuration, verify the status of the redundant Power Supply. The “POK” LED status must be “solid green”. Removing the Power Supply when the redundant supply does not show a solid green status, may cause the system to power down. Contact Ribbon Customer Support if required.

Parts and Tools Required

  • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap
  • Replacement AC power supply


The chassis is shipped with one Power Supply, unless a second Power Supply is added to the order.

To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, an ESD strap is provided in the SBC chassis accessory kit. Refer to Connecting Electrostatic Discharge Wrist Strap to install it.

Replacing a Power Supply

Perform the following procedure to replace a Power Supply:

  1. Verify the POK green LED of the redundant Power Supply is lit.
  2. Attach an Electrostatic Discharge wrist strap to the ESD grounding point on the back panel of the chassis, and place the other end around your wrist (refer to Connecting Electrostatic Discharge Wrist Strap for details).
  3. Disconnect the AC power cable from the AC Power Supply as shown below.

  4. Disengage the AC Power Supply by moving the latch to the left as shown below.

  6. Install the replacement  AC Power Supply into the SBC 5000 series chassis by sliding it forward until you hear the latch click in place.
  7. Reconnect the AC power cable, as shown below.

  8. Observe that the POK green LED on the newly-inserted Power Supply is solid green.
  9. From the application, ensure that no Power Supply alarms are generated. 

CRU Storage

All SBC 5000 series CRUs are shipped in electrostatic discharge bags and must be handled using appropriate ESD precautions.

 The storage environment for these CRUs are:

  • Humidity must be less than 95% (non-condensing)
  • Temperature must be between -40C and +70C.
