Description
Installation and Configuration
The N7K-AC-6.0KW Cisco 6000 Watt AC Power Supply is designed to provide power to the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches. The power supply is a hot-pluggable module, which allows for easy replacement without shutting down the switch.
To install and configure the N7K-AC-6.0KW Cisco 6000 Watt AC Power Supply, the following steps should be followed:
- Verify that the power source meets the voltage requirements for the power supply (100-240VAC input voltage, 50-60Hz)
- Turn off the power to the switch and disconnect all cables.
- Open the switch chassis and locate the power supply slot.
- Carefully slide the power supply into the slot, making sure that the power supply is properly aligned and seated.
- Connect the power cables to the power supply, ensuring that they are securely connected.
- Turn on the power to the switch and check the status of the power supply. The power supply should be properly recognized by the switch and its status should be reported as “Ok”.
- Configure the power supply redundancy and failover features, if desired. This can be done using the Cisco Nexus command-line interface (CLI) or the Cisco Nexus Operating System (NX-OS)
- Verify that the power supply is providing power to the switch and that the switch is operating normally.
It is important to note that the power supply should be installed in pairs for redundancy, and it’s recommended to use the same type of power supplies for the switch.
Energy Efficiency and Environmental Impact
The N7K-AC-6.0KW Cisco 6000 Watt AC Power Supply is designed to provide reliable power to the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch. The power supply is designed with energy efficiency and environmental impact in mind.
- Energy Efficiency: The N7K-AC-6.0KW power supply is Energy Star 2.0 compliant, which means that it meets the energy efficiency requirements set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DOE). It also supports the Cisco EnergyWise technology, which allows the switch to monitor and control energy consumption and reduce energy costs.
- Power Factor Correction: The N7K-AC-6.0KW power supply also supports power factor correction (PFC), which is a technique that improves the power factor of the switch and reduces energy consumption. This means that the switch uses less energy to do the same amount of work and reduces the load on the power grid.
- Environmental Impact: The N7K-AC-6.0KW power supply is RoHS compliant, which means that it does not contain hazardous materials that could have a negative impact on the environment. It’s also designed to reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint of the switch.
- Efficient Cooling: The N7K-AC-6.0KW power supply also has a cooling system that is designed to be energy efficient, which means that it uses less energy to cool the switch and reduces the environmental impact.
Operating Temperature and Humidity Range
The N7K-AC-6.0KW Cisco 6000 Watt AC Power Supply is designed for use in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches. It provides a high-performance, reliable power supply for these switches.
The operating temperature range for the N7K-AC-6.0KW power supply is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius (32 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit). This means that the power supply can operate within this temperature range without any issues.
The operating humidity range for the N7K-AC-6.0KW power supply is 10% to 90% non-condensing. This means that the power supply can operate within this humidity range without any issues.
It’s important to note that the power supply should be installed in a location that is free from dust, moisture, and other environmental factors that can cause damage to the power supply. It’s also important to ensure that the ventilation around the power supply is adequate to maintain the proper operating temperature and humidity range.
Additionally, the power supply has built-in temperature and fan sensors that ensure that the temperature inside the power supply stays within the acceptable range and the fans operate at the optimal speeds.
