• C9010 line cards are hot-swappable. The C9010 supports high availability.
• Do not press on the port connectors when you install a line card.
Figure 23 shows the types of line cards supported in a C9010.
Figure 23. Example of Line Cards Supported in the C9010
1 On a full-width line card, open the left and right ejector levers by pressing the orange thumb tabs. The two ejectors levers spring open.
On a half-width line card, there is only one ejector lever; open the left lever in the same way by pressing the orange thumb tab so that
the lever pops out. For the location of the thumb tabs and ejector levers, see Installing an RPM.
2 Hold the card assembly by the metal carrier edges. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins.
3 You can insert a line card into any line-card slot. Align the card with the guide in the chassis slot. While holding the ejector lever, press
on any convenient edge of the front panel to slide the card until you feel the backplane connectors engage the chassis backplane. Be
sure not to press on the port connectors.
4 Push in the lever until the thumb tab pops up and the card is fully inserted in the slot.
5 Repeat Steps 1 to 4 to install additional line cards in the chassis.
6 Install a blank panel in all slots that do not have a line card. Press the orange tab on a blank to open the ejector lever. Holding the lever,
insert the blank to cover the open slot. Push in the lever to secure the blank in place.
Installing a Power Supply
The C9010 has four power supply slots at the bottom of the front of the chassis. The C9010 supports only an AC power supply with an IEC
60320 C19 power cable. The power supply is rated as 1450W at 100~120 VAC and 2900W at 200~240 VAC.
NOTE
: If a power supply fails, Dell Networking recommends that you replace it as soon as possible. C9010 power supply units are
hot-swappable.
PSU Installation Guidelines
• The C9010 requires at least one power supply for normal operation. Dell Networking recommends using additional power supplies for
redundancy and additional power depending on the local power grid voltage (100-120 VAC /200-240 VAC).
• C9010 power supplies do not support a combination of power grid types. For example, all PSUs must be powered either by 100~120
VAC or 200~240 VAC, but not both. Do not mix utility input.
• To protect against high-voltage shock, install a power supply blank in all unused power supply slots.
• Connect the AC power supply to the appropriate branch circuit protection as dened by your local electrical codes.
• Verify that the remote power source complies with the system input power specications.
