Appendix A: Safety Information

Installing Power Supply Units and Connecting Power

For the ratings and power requirements of each power supply unit, see
data sheet for the power supply at http://www.extremenetworks.com.
WARNING!
Be sure to satisfy the requirements listed in this section when you install Extreme Networks
power supplies.
When you install any power supply:
Do not use excessive force when you insert a power supply into the bay.
●
Do not attempt to open the power supply enclosure for any reason; the power supply does not
●
contain user-serviceable parts. In the event of failure, return the defective power supply to Extreme
Networks for repair or replacement.
Do not put your hand into an open power supply bay when a power supply is not present.
●
When you install AC power supplies:
For switches with field-replaceable power supplies, do not connect the power supply to an electrical
●
source when the power supply is not installed in the switch; doing so would expose a hazardous
energy and poses a potential shock and fire hazard.
Plug power supplies only into properly grounded electrical outlets to help prevent electrical shock
●
and to comply with international safety standards.
Use only power cords that are certified for use within the country of use. Do not attempt to modify
●
AC power cords.
Make sure that the voltage and frequency of your power outlet match the system electrical ratings
●
for the equipment. The building and/or power source must provide overload protection.
Use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply to protect the system from
●
momentary increases or decreases in electrical power.
When multiple power supplies are used with a system, connect each power supply to a different,
●
independent over-current protection device, such as a circuit breaker. If a single power source fails, it
will affect only that power supply to which it is connected.
Extreme Networks AC power supplies do not have switches for turning the unit on and off. Remove
●
all wall plugs from the electrical outlet to disconnect the power. Make sure that these connections are
easily accessible.
When you install DC power supplies or connect DC power:
Making the connection to your facility DC source voltage must be performed by a qualified, licensed
●
electrician.
Extreme Networks DC power supplies do not have switches for turning the unit on and off. Make
●
sure that the DC circuit is de-energized before connecting or disconnecting the DC power cord at the
DC power socket on the Extreme Networks equipment.
Do not connect a DC power supply to the DC source power when the power supply is not installed
●
in the chassis; doing so would expose a hazardous energy and poses a potential shock and fire
hazard.
