Installing or Replacing a Power Supply in a Switch Chassis
If you leave any power supply slots empty, you must install a blank filler plate () in that slot to maintain the
designed airflow.
Note
You follow the same steps to install AC and DC power supplies into the switch, but you ground them differently.
For an AC power supply, you automatically ground it when you connect its power cable to the power supply
and the power source.
Before You Begin
• The switch chassis must be installed in a cabinet or rack that is secured to the data center.
You need the following additional tools and equipment:
• Nut driver attachment for Number 1 Phillips-head screwdriver or ratchet wrench with torque capability
• Crimping tool
• Grounding wire—Size this wire to meet local and national installation requirements. For U.S. installations,
Step 1
If you need to open a power supply slot for another power supply, follow these steps:
If you neet to remove a blank filler plate, unscrew its captive screws and pull it off the chassis. Go to Step

2.
a) Turn off the power for the power supply that you are removing, as follows:
1 Ensure that the power switch on the front of the power supply is set to standby (labelled as ). The Output LED
turns off.
2 Verify that the Output LED turns off. If the LED is still on, return to Step 1.
3 If you are removing a DC power supply, ensure that the power is turned off at the power source by turning off
the power for that circuit, and verify that the Input LEDs turn off.
b) If you are removing a power supply, detach the power and ground cables as follows:
• For a AC power supply, unplug the power cables that are attached to the power supply and the power source.
c) Remove the power supply or blank filler plate from the power supply slot as follows:
Note To remove a blank filler plate, unscrew its captive screws and pull on its handle to remove the plate from
the slot. Go to Step
Step 2
Install the new power supply in the open slot as follows:
a) Verify that the power switch on the front of the new power supply is set to standby (labelled as ) and that the power
supply is not connected to any power sources.
b) Hold the handle on the power supply with one hand, place your other hand under the power supply to support its
weight, and position the power supply with its back end at the open power supply bay.

you must use a 6 AWG copper conductor. For installations outside the U.S., consult your local and
national electrical codes. The length of the grounding wire depends on the proximity of the switch to
proper grounding facilities.
