Safety Considerations for Installing Power Supplies
Only trained service personnel should perform service to Extreme Networks switches and their
components.
Trained service personnel have read all related installation manuals, have the technical training and
experience necessary to be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed in performing a task, and
are aware of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other persons.
Caution
Extreme Redundant Power Supplies (RPS) do not support the ability for the RPS to be
connected to an operational switch. Connecting an RPS to an operational switch can have an
adverse effect on the switch. It is best practice that both the switch and the RPS be powered
down prior to cabling them together. Once the cabling is completed, turn on the RPS, then
turn on the switch.
Warning
Extreme Networks AC power supplies do not have switches for turning the unit on and off. To
disconnect the power to an Extreme Networks AC power supply, remove the wall plug from
the electrical outlet. Make sure that this connection is easily accessible.
Warning
When the power supply is outside the chassis (not installed), do not plug the power supply
into an electrical outlet. Plugging an uninstalled AC power supply into an electrical outlet
exposes you to a hazardous energy and is a potential fire hazard.
