Removing the PSU status connector jumper
Use this procedure if you are installing a redundant power supply for the first time. Use this
procedure only with the BCM400 main unit.
Note: A BCM expansion unit with a standard power supply cannot be upgraded. You
must replace the expansion unit.
Note: When you install a redundant power supply, you must also install a redundant
cooling fan included with the redundancy upgrade kit.
Note: When you install a redundant power supply, you must also remove the jumper
installed in the power supply unit status connector (RPS output signaling connector) on
the I/O card.
Note: When you upgrade to a redundant power supply, you must also install a redundant
fan. Refer to “Installing a BCM400 cooling fan” on page 326.
