Cisco CATALYST 6509E 9 SLOT 15U CHASSIS NO POWER SUPPLY NO FAN TRAY Specification Guide

To install the new fan assembly, follow these steps:

Hold the fan assembly with the fans facing to the right and the FAN STATUS LED at the bottom. 

See 

 for the Catalyst 6503 and Catalyst 6503-E switches

See 

 for the Catalyst 6504-E switch

See 

 for the Catalyst 6506 and Catalyst 6506-E switches

See 

 for the Catalyst 6509 and Catalyst 6509-E switches

See 

 for the Catalyst 6513 switch 

For the Catalyst 6509-NEB switch, hold the fan assembly with the fans facing down and the FAN 
STATUS LED on the left. (See 

.) For the Catalyst 6509-NEB-A switch, hold the fan 

assembly so that the handle is at the top of the assembly. (See 

Place the fan assembly into the front chassis cavity so that it rests on the chassis, and then lift the fan 
assembly up slightly, aligning the top and bottom chassis guides.

Push the fan assembly into the chassis until the power connector seats in the backplane and the captive 
installation screws make contact with the chassis.

Tighten the captive installation screws. 

On the Catalyst 6509-NEB-A switch, fold the cable guide up, and tighten the two captive 
installation screws at the top of the chassis. (See 

To verify that the new fan assembly is installed correctly, follow these steps:

Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating. If you do not hear them, ensure that 
the fan assembly is inserted completely in the chassis and that the faceplate is flush with the switch back 
panel.

Verify that the FAN STATUS LED is green. If the LED is red, one or more of the fans are faulty.

If after several attempts the fans do not operate or if you experience trouble with the installation (for 
instance, if the captive installation screws do not align with the chassis holes), contact a Cisco customer 
service representative for assistance.
