Installing A Dc Power Supply - Cisco Nexus 9396TX Installation Manual

Installing a DC Power Supply

• There must be an earth ground connection to the chassis that you are installing the replacement module.
Step 1 Holding the replacement power supply with one hand underneath the module and the other hand holding the handle, turn
the power supply so that its release latch is on the right side and align the back end of the power supply (the end with the
electrical connections) to the open power supply slot before carefully sliding the power supply all the way into the slot
until it clicks into place.
Note If the power supply does not fit into the open slot, turn the module over before sliding it carefully into the
open slot.
Step 2
Test the installation by trying to pull the power supply out of the slot without using the release latch.
If the power supply does not move out of place, it is secured in the slot. If the power supply moves, carefully press it all
the way into the slot until it clicks in place.
Step 3

• The power supply that you are installing must be capable of using the same airflow direction as the fan
• A DC power source must be within reach of the power cable that will be used with the replacement power
