General Walk through

The replacement of the rear-mounted outlets is rather simple. Here are the basic steps you will
be taking:
1. Disconnect your Power Plant from its power supply.
2. Place unit in a well-lit workspace and obtain all necessary tools.
3. Remove the bottom cover of a P300, or the top cover of a P600.
4. Remove the existing hospital grade outlets and replace with a Power Port.
5. Replace the top or bottom cover.
6. You are done.
The procedure for replacing the hospital grade outlets with Power Ports, once inside the unit, is
very similar for each model. The differences per model are in gaining access to the inside of the
unit, and re-attaching the plugs back onto the rear panel.

Gaining access to inside the P300

Step One
Disconnect the Power Plant.
IMPORTANT! To correctly discharge the internal energy storage and prevent a potential shock
hazard, you must unplug the Power Plant while it is turned on and providing power for at least
one product. This will not damage the Power Plant or the connected device. However to ensure
that your equipment does not get damaged we recommend you use a simple load device such as
a table lamp for this step. (It will typically take less then 5 seconds for the unit to fully discharge.)
Once your Power Plant has cooled sufficiently to the touch, Place it in a well-lit place such as on
a table or open floor where you can have easy access and plenty of space to work on it. Make
sure you have all required tools available.
