14 Installing the Hardware
Power Up Sequence
Before you supply power to the chassis, Dell Networking recommends that you
re-inspect your equipment rack and chassis.
CAUTION: Never operate the system without a fan tray.
To supply power to the system:
After you supply power to the system, the following should occur:
• The fan tray should be operating.
• The green (online) fan tray, RPM, and line card LEDs should be lit and
remain lit as long as the system is receiving power and is operational.
Step Task
1 Verify that the power source complies with the system input power
requirements.
2 Energize the remote power source or outlet.
3 On the C150, toggle the switch on the AC power supplies to the ON
(right) position.
On the C300, toggle the switch on the AC power supplies to the ON
(top) position.
4 The power supply LEDs should be green. If these LEDs are not lit
green:
• Check that the unit is properly installed.
• Verify the power source.
• If the power supply cannot be verified, power off all modules and
replace the unit.
5 The fan tray LED should be green (online). You should be able to hear
the air flowing through the chassis. If the fans are not operating properly
or air is not flowing through the chassis:
• Power off all power supplies.
• Verify that the fan tray is properly installed.
• If the fan tray LED remains unlit, power down the unit, and replace the
fan tray.
