How to install Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series 2000W DC Power Supply

Installing the Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series 2000W DC Power Supply is a straightforward, non-disruptive process intended for data centers and enterprise environments. Follow these best practices to ensure a safe, rapid deployment with optimal performance and availability.

  • Power down the chassis and disconnect external power sources before beginning installation to prevent electrical hazards and ensure a clean, safe work area.
  • Open the chassis access area and locate the empty DC power supply slot designated for the 2000W module; confirm compatibility with your Catalyst 9600 chassis model and slot configuration.
  • Align the new 2000W DC power supply with the guide rails, slide it firmly into the slot, and engage the securing mechanism until you hear a decisive click indicating proper seating.
  • Connect the appropriate DC power cables to the supply and route cabling to minimize bend radii and avoid interference with airflow or other components; ensure secure, clean connections.
  • Power up the chassis and observe the power supply indicators. Verify that the unit initializes correctly, enters normal operation, and announces power-on status without fault indications; if redundancy is configured, verify the partner supply is online as well.
  • Use Cisco’s management tools to confirm healthy status, monitor temperatures, and verify that alerts are configured for any future fault or performance deviations; document the installation for future maintenance and audits.
