Installing a Power Supply

To install a power supply, follow these steps.

module itself. Power must not be connected prior to insertion in the chassis.
CAUTION: To prevent electrical shock, ensure that the system is grounded properly. If you do not
ground your equipment correctly, excessive emissions may result. To ensure that the power
cables meet your local electrical requirements, use a qualified electrician.
