Remove the Fan Tray The fan tray LED lights green when the system is online and the fan tray is operating normally.
6 Power Supply This chapter provides instructions to install AC Power Supply Units (PSUs) and DC Power Entry Modules (PEMs): • AC Power Supply Units • DC Power Entry Modules E-Series systems may contain only one type of power module—AC or DC. The E600i requires a minimum of one DC Power Entry Module or a minimum of two AC Power Supplies. Table 6-1.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com AC Power Supply Units The 2500W AC Power Supply Unit is capable of operating at either 100 VAC or 220 VAC. If the system is connected to a 100 VAC power supply, each unit provides up to 1500W, and three power supply modules are required to power the system; four power supply units are required for power supply redundancy.
Power Cord Requirements If using a power cord other then a Dell Force10 supplied power cord, the cord must terminate at a right angle (IEC320 C19 connector) to the power module, see Figure 6-3. The power source end of the power cord must have an appropriately sized plug that complies with your local electrical codes. Conductor size must also conform to your local electrical codes. The following are Dell Force10 supplied plug types.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Step 6 Task Toggle the power supply switch to the ON position, and verify that Status LED lights green. Remove the AC Power Supply CAUTION: This unit has more than one power supply connection; all connections must be removed to remove all power from the unit. ATTENTION: Cette unité est équipée de plusieurs raccordements d'alimentation. Pour supprimer tout courant électrique de l'unité, tous les cordons d'alimentation doivent être débranchés.
DC Power Entry Modules The system requires a minimum of one load-sharing PEM to operate, but two are recommended for redundancy. Connect the E600i PEMs to the appropriate branch circuit protection as defined by local electrical codes. For full redundancy, each PEM must be attached to an independent power source with a dedicated circuit breaker. Figure 6-5.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com 3 Loosen the retaining screw and remove PEM safety cover (Figure 6-6). Figure 6-6.

B Alarms The E-Series generates major and minor alarms for the following conditions: • fan tray status • power supply status • RPMs status • high temperature on RPMs • line cards status • high temperature on line cards • SFMs status • high temperature on SFMs. A major alarm is any fault that may render the E-Series non-functional. A minor alarm is any fault that threatens the operation of the E-Series. You can monitor alarm conditions on the E-Series system through the console, LEDs, and audible alarms.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Table B-1.
SFMs and Alarms The number of SFMs present in the system when it boots determines the level of alarms sent when a fifth (redundant) SFM is removed or fails. At boot time, if five SFMs are present and functioning, the E-Series system issues no alarms. However, if one SFM fails or is removed, the system send a minor alarm stating that four SFMs are present. The system requires four functioning SFMs to pass traffic. At boot time, if four SFMs are present and functioning, the E-Series system issues no alarms.
