Replacing a 600 W, 920 W, 1200 W, or 2000 W AC PoE Power Supply

The 600W AC PoE PS (Model XN-ACPWR-600W with front-to-back ventilation airflow) is compatible with 540F-24P-4XE and 5420F-8W- 16P-4XE switch models.

The 920 W AC PoE PSU (Model XN-ACPWR-920W with front-to-back ventilation airflow) is compatible with 5420F-48P-4XE, 5420F-48P-4XL, 5420M-24W-4YE, 5420M-48W-4YE, 5420M-16MW-32P-4YE switch models.

The 1200W AC PoE PS (Model XN-ACPWR-1200W with front-to-back ventilation airflow) is compatible with 5420F-16W-32P-4XE and 5420F-16MW-32P-4XE switch models.

The XN-ACPWR-2000W (Model XN-ACPWR-2000W with front-to-back ventilation airflow) is compatible with 5420M-48W-4YE and 5420M-16MW-32P-4YE switch models.

5420F models have 1 hot-swappable PSU and 1 fixed PSU. 5420M models have 2 hot-swappable PSUs. In a switch with a redundant power configuration, you can replace one AC power supply without powering down the switch.

Caution

Caution

The 600 W, 920 W, 1200 W, and 2000 W AC power supplies that support PoE cannot be installed and used in a switch that does not support PoE.
Note

Note

The switch operating system prevents PoE power contribution from a power supply that is not listed for use with that particular switch model.

You need the following tools and materials to replace a 600 W, 920 W, 1200 W, or 2000 W AC PoE power supply:

  • Thermal protective gloves
  • AC power cord, if you will not be re-using the cord from the removed power supply

To replace a 600 W, 920 W, 1200 W, or 2000 W AC PoE power supply, follow these steps:

  1. Disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet and from the power supply.
  2. Note the orientation of the installed power supply, and the location of the latching tab at the right of the unit.
  3. Push the latching tab toward the power supply handle and pull outward on the handle to disengage the power supply internal connectors.

    Remove 5420 PSU with direction arrows and pull tab
  4. Carefully slide the power supply the rest of the way out of the switch.
    Caution

    Caution

    Power supplies can become very hot during operation. Wear thermal protective gloves when you remove a power supply from an operating switch.
    Note

    Note

    If you are not installing a replacement power supply, install a cover over the unoccupied power supply bay. Unoccupied bays must always be covered to maintain proper system ventilation and EMI levels.
  5. Verify that the replacement power supply is oriented the same way as the unit you removed, and has the same airflow direction.
  6. Carefully slide the power supply all the way into the power supply bay.

    Caution

    Caution

    Do not slam the power supply into the switch.
  8. Connect the power cord to the power supply and to a grounded AC power outlet.
    Warning

    Warning

    Always be sure that the source outlet is properly grounded before plugging the AC power cord into the AC power supply.
  9. If the power supply is equipped with a power cord retainer, use the retainer to secure the power cord to the power supply.
