- Check for the proper power indicators.
Immediately upon power up, you should observe the following:
■ All power supply AC OK and DC OK LEDs light solid green.
- The fan tray Fan Status LED is solid green and you should be able to feel significant airflow blowing from the chassis vents at each of the three fan positions.
- Check for the appropriate operation indicators.
Once the system has successfully booted, you should observe the following:
■ The power supply AC OK and DC OK LEDs are still solid green.
■ The fan tray Fan Status LED is still solid green.

NOTE: For more information on LED behavior, refer to the individual chapters for the specific modules.
- Once the system has passed the initial power-up test:
■ Connect appropriate network cables. - You are now ready to perform the initial setup as described in the Aruba Quick Start Guide (which is included in the Accessory Kit) for the software loaded on your controller.
The Dell PowerConnect W-6000 controller Fan Tray (HW-FT) provides air circulation for cooling the W-6000M3 modules in the Dell PowerConnect W-6000 controller chassis and is required for their normal operation. Normal operating temperature for the W-6000 controller chassis is between 0 to 40 °C (32 to 104 °F). If this temperature range is exceeded, the W-6000 will provide a warning through the software to alert users of the change. The following table describes these alarms and their thresholds:
Table 3 Temperature Thresholds
| Alarm Severity Threshold | |
| Minor 40 °C | |
| Major 50 °C | |
| Critical 60 °C | |
This chapter describes the general features and physical characteristics of the fan tray, and provides instructions for replacing the module if necessary.
Features
Built-in Redundancy
Three fans are provided in the fan tray. The module is designed to provide for cooling, even if one fan fails. Any two operating fans will provide enough airflow for proper cooling until the fan tray can be replaced.
Hot Swap
Hot swapping should be performed by a trained technician. Hot swapping allows you to replace the fan tray without having to shut down the system. During the replacement operation, the chassis will continue to function without fans, though the procedure must be completed within one minute to resume proper cooling.
Physical Description
The fan tray slot is located on the left side of the W-6000 controller chassis and extends from the front of the chassis to the back.

NOTE: In addition to the LEDs, the fan tray status and overall chassis temperature can be viewed using the CLI.
4 Slot Labels: When the fan tray is installed in the W-6000 controller, these labels name the module slots to the immediate right of the fan tray (see Figure 1 on page 7).
5 Fans (on side): Three independent fans provide redundancy for cooling the W-6000 controller cards.
Replacing a Fan Tray

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
If hot swapping the fan tray, please be aware that there are time-critical aspects to parts of the procedure. To ensure proper preparation, please read through all the steps in the procedure before attempting the replacement. Also, make sure you understand all the precautions in these steps as well as those on page 10.
Prepare the New Fan Tray
- Unpack the new fan tray.
- Inspect the new fan tray to verify that it is undamaged.
- Place the new fan tray in a safe, accessible place near the chassis, ready for prompt insertion.
- Locate a #2 Phillips or cross-head screwdriver.
Remove the Old Fan Tray
- Loosen the fan tray's fastening screws.
At the front of the W-6000 controller, use the screwdriver to loosen both of the fastening screws on the faceplate of the installed fan tray. The screws loosen with counter-clockwise rotation, but are captive and cannot be fully removed. - Disengage the fan tray.
Grasp the module handle firmly and draw the fan tray forward from its slot. There may be moderate resistance as the module comes free from its connections with the chassis backplane, but do not use excessive force.
When the module is fully disengaged from the backplane, power to the working fans is lost and they will gradually stop spinning.
CAUTION: The fans will continue to spin for a short while, even though there is no power to them. Wait for the fans to stop spinning before removing the fan tray.

Also, when hot swapping, once the fans stop spinning, the W-6000 controller will continue to operate, though heat will begin to build in the operational components. From this point, there is a limited time (one minute) before installation of the new fan tray must be completed.
The one minute limit must be adhered to since the W-6000 controller does not have a thermal shutdown function. If you cannot replace the fan tray within one minute, shut down the controller.
- Once disengaged, the fan tray should easily slide out of the chassis. Fully remove the fan tray and place it safely aside.
Insert the New Fan Tray
- Pick up the new fan tray by the handle provided on its front panel.
- Carefully insert the fan tray into the chassis fan tray slot.
Align the rear of the fan tray with the guide rails in the chassis fan tray slot and slide it gently toward the backplane. The module should slide in easily most of the way. - Engage the fan tray.
As the fan tray reaches the back of the chassis, moderate resistance may be felt. Press firmly so the connectors at the back of the module engage with the backplane, but do not use excessive force.
When hot swapping the fan tray and when the connectors are properly engaged, power to the fans should be restored and they should start spinning.
- Check the fans to verify all of them are working.
Once power has been restored to the fan tray, either by engaging the module to the backplane during hot-swap or by turning on system power after a cold-swap, the Fan Status LED should be green and you should be able to feel significant airflow blowing from the chassis vents at each fan position.
If the fans are all working, this ends the time critical portion of the hot-swap procedure.
If one of the fans in a newly hot-swapped fan tray does not work (yellow Fan Status LED), allow at least three minutes for the remaining fans to cool the chassis before attempting another hot-swap replacement.

CAUTION: If two or more fans in the newly hot-swapped fan tray do not work (the Fan Status LED is red), shut down the W-6000 controller, replace the fan tray, and allow the W-6000 controller at least five minutes to cool before turning it back on.
- Secure the fan tray.
Use the screwdriver to push in and tighten both of the fastening screws on the faceplate of the newly installed fan tray. Rotate the screws clockwise until moderate resistance is felt, but do not over-tighten.
The Dell PowerConnect W-6000M3 is a hot-swappable controller module for use within a W-6000 controller chassis system. The W-6000 controller chassis is capable of containing up to four modules, each of which can be configured as a master or local. For complete details regarding the W-6000M3, including installation instructions and compatibility and configuration options, refer to the Dell PowerConnect W-6000M3 Installation Guide. For power management details, refer to “Power Management” on page 25.

For information on the installation and operation of the Dell PowerConnect W-6000M3 controller module, see the Dell PowerConnect W-6000M3 Controller Module Installation Guide that is included with each module.
The Dell PowerConnect W-6000 controller Power Supply adapts electrical power for use with the W-6000 controller. The W-6000 chassis has three slots that can hold individual power supplies to support load sharing and fault tolerance.
This chapter describes the general features and physical characteristics of the power supply and important power consumption management information. The final sections of the chapter cover the steps required to insert and remove power supplies.
Features
Rating
The Dell W-6000 Power Supply (HW-PSU-400) is rated at 400 W total output and is auto-ranging to accept 85 to 264 VAC, at 50 to 60 Hz. Up to three 400 W power supplies can be installed in the W-6000 controller.
Load Sharing
Load sharing occurs when more than one power supply of the same rating are installed in the W-6000 controller and turned on. Load sharing divides the total power load of the W-6000 among all plugged in power supply modules. Since the power supplies work together, the effective power capacity of the chassis is increased by with each additional power supply.
Redundancy
When multiple power supplies are installed, if one becomes unavailable (fails, or is turned off or removed) the remaining power supplies will attempt to provide full power for the W-6000 controller. If the total power load does not exceed the combined rated output of the remaining, operational power supplies, the W-6000 will continue to operate. For more information on power supply configurations, “Power Management” on page 25.
Hot Swap
Hot swapping should be performed by a trained technician. Hot swapping allows you to replace one failed power supply while the others provide full power. This makes it unnecessary to shut down the W-6000 controller during the replacement procedure.
Hot swapping requires that after the target power supply is removed, the chassis's total power load does not exceed the combined rated output of the remaining power supplies.

5 Power Cord Retaining Clip: This clip fits over the power cord once the plug has been inserted into the power input socket. It helps prevent the power cord from being pulled out accidentally.

CAUTION: Do not use the power cord retaining clip to remove the power supply module, or to lift or move the W-6000.
6 Power Input Socket: This power socket accepts power cords with standard IEC320 connectors. For proper safety and performance, the cord must be rated to 10 A and conform to grounded electrical standards in the country where the product is used.

Power Switch: The power switch has two states: Off (○) and On (|).
Power Management
The W-6000 controller supports up to three 400 W power supplies. If using one to two primary power supplies for 400 to 800 W of primary power, the use of a 400 W redundant power supply is possible.
For maximum capacity planning, add the maximum power draw required for all of the modules in your chassis configuration to determine the required number of power supplies.

Inserting a Power Supply
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
- Verify you understand the procedure and all precautions.
Before beginning, read the entire procedure. Verify you understand all the precautions in these steps as well as those on page 10.
- Select a power supply slot for the power supply.
The 400 W power supply (ITW-PSU-400) can be installed in any power supply slot and any power supply slot can be left empty. That is, there is no specific required order of slots used for power supplies.
Figure 7 400 W Power Supplies Installed

Diagram of a multi-chamber electronic device with indicator lights and ports (no text or symbols)If replacing a previously installed power supply, first see "Removing a Power Supply" on page 27.
If you are installing a power supply in an empty slot, you may have to remove the blank cover plate first. To do this, use a #2 Phillips or cross-head screwdriver. Turn the captive fastening screws on the faceplate counterclockwise until they are loose (they cannot be completely removed). Remove the cover plate and store it in a safe place.
- Verify the power switch on the power supply to be installed is Off (○).

CAUTION: Never insert or remove a power supply while its power switch is in the On (I) position or if the power cord is plugged into the power supply module. Verify the power switch is Off (O) first and that the power cord is unplugged from the W-6000 PSU module.
- Insert the power supply into the chassis.
Grasp the power supply by the handle attached along the bottom side of the power supply, keeping the LEDs on the left and power switch on the right. Do not use the power cord retaining clip to insert or remove the power supply. Align the back of the module with the guide-rails in the chassis power supply slot and gently slide the module toward the backplane. Do not force the module; it should slide in easily most of the way. There may be moderate resistance when the power supply meets the connectors at the back of the chassis. Press firmly to engage the connectors, but do not use excessive force.
- Secure the power supply.
Use the screwdriver to push in the module's captive fastening screws and turn them clockwise until moderate resistance is felt. Do not over-tighten.
- Attach the power cord to the power supply.

NOTE: Swing the cord retaining clip to the left before attaching the power cord.
Plug an appropriate power cord into the power input socket. The socket accepts a power cord with a standard IEC320 plug.

CAUTION: For proper safety and performance, the power cord must be rated to 10 A and conform to grounded electrical standards in the country where the product is operated.
- Secure the power cord.
When the power cord is attached, swing the power cord retaining clip to the right as shown in Figure 8 on page 26. This will hold the plug in place and help prevent it from being removed accidentally.
