Remove Fabric Interconnect F1-4 Power Supplies
The Fabric Interconnect F1-4 power supply units (PSUs) are on the front of the chassis. The Fabric Interconnect F1-4 power cords have their own cable management system which anchors them to a pre-installed part that sits on the front mounting brackets. The Fabric Interconnect F1-4 power cord management system consists of:
-
two (2) plastic anchors, one per side
-
the anchor has slots at the bottom and top
-
two (2) tie wraps, one for each power cord. Each tie wrap is reusable and has a tab that allows for loosening and tightening the tie wrap.
Removing a Fabric Interconnect F1-4 power supply does not require the system to be powered down. The Fabric Interconnect F1-4 can operate fully on one PSU. However, if both PSUs must be removed at the same time, the system will shut down due to having no power. In cases where both PSUs must be removed, Oracle recommends swapping one power supply at a time (if possible) to avoid service interruptions.
When you hot swap a Fabric Interconnect F1-4 PSU, the Fabric Interconnect polls for hardware status every 30 seconds. Polling starts when the Fabric Interconnect senses a PSU disconnect from the system's power channel.
When a PSU is disconnected, you must wait for at least 30 seconds before re-inserting it. This 30-second wait period is required to properly raise alarms and update the PSU part number, serial number, and other pertinent information for the system's hardware inventory. When hot swapping a PSU for a Fabric Interconnect F1-4, make sure to wait for more than 30 seconds before re-inserting a PSU.
 | Caution - This product may have multiple AC power cords installed. To de-energize this equipment, disconnect all power cords from the device. |
This figure shows one of the power cord anchors. One anchor exists on each front mounting bracket.
Note - When removing Fabric Interconnect F1-4 power supplies, be aware that the power cords might jostle in the cable tie. When reconnecting power cords after servicing the power supplies, make sure read the requirements documented in Power Cord Management.
- Unplug the power supply that needs to be removed.
- Grasp the PSU handle with one or more fingers so that your thumb rests on the locking tab, shown in Removing a Fabric Interconnect F1-4 PSU.
-
Simultaneously, press the locking tab to the right (1) and pull the PSU
out of the Fabric Interconnect F1-4 (2) as shown in Removing a Fabric Interconnect F1-4 PSU.
While sliding the power supply out of the chassis, you will need to hold the locking tab in long enough to allow the locking pins on the side of the power supply to clear the chassis' sheet metal.

Note - Both PSUs are oriented in the same direction, so both locking tabs pull to the right.
