MB6 Power Components (F-MB6X-RAC and F-MB6X-DC)
The F-MB6X-RAC and F-MB6X-DC chassis have removable power supplies (PSUs) and power distribution unit (PDU) (as shown in the figures below).The F-MB6X-RAC and F-MB6X-DC chassis are fully redundant and can run using one or both PSUs. If using both, they share the load 50-50. One PSU can power all six cards in the chassis.
Replacement parts are available for the power supply units (#P-MB6X-AC-PSU and #P-MB6X-DC-PSU) and the power distribution units (#P-MB6X-AC-PDU and #P-MB6X-DC-PDU). See MB6 Replacement Part Ordering Information.
Important
The F-MB6X-MED power supply cannot be replaced without opening the chassis, which would void the warranty. To replace the F-MB6X-MED power supply, you must return the unit to Haivision. If field-serviceability is a requirement, we recommend that you keep a second F-MB6X-MED chassis available on the premises.
Replacing the F-MB6X-RAC and F-MB6X-DC Power Supplies
The PSU Power LED will show red to indicate an issue with the PSU. When this occurs, you should replace the power supply. The PSUs are hot-swappable, which means that you do not need to power the chassis off to remove a power supply. However, to keep the chassis running, only change one PSU at a time.
To replace the F-MB6X-RAC or F-MB6X-DC chassis PSU:
Caution
Refer to "Antistatic Precautions" in Safety Information to prevent ESD damage to the equipment.- Using a Phillips #2 head screwdriver, remove the two PSU retaining screws (one on the left side of the PSU and the other beside the injector/ejector handle).
- Press the release button on the injector/ejector handle and pull the handle to release the PSU module.
- Pull the PSU module out of the chassis.
- Slide the replacement PSU module in place and then push the injector/ejector handle until the module locks into the chassis.
- Tighten the screws.
Replacing the F-MB6X-RAC and F-MB6X-DC Power Distribution Units
Important
The PDU is not hot-swappable; so, you must power down the chassis to replace the PDU.
To replace the F-MB6X-RAC or F-MB6X-DC PDU:
- Turn off all PDU power switches.
- Disconnect all power cords from the chassis.
- Using a Phillips #2 head screwdriver, remove the two PDU retaining screws (one on each side of the PDU).
- Pull the PDU module out of the chassis.
- Slide the replacement PDU module into the chassis and press to click.
- Tighten the screws.
- Plug all power cords back into the chassis.
- Turn on all power switches on the PDU.
