Removing AC Power Supply Units
NOTE: Do not remove a panel blank unless you are ready to install a power supply into that slot. After
removing a power supply, immediately place a panel blank in the empty slot. Blanks are required to control
airflow and electromagnetic interference.
A power supply failure is recognized by a red power LED, a lit RPM alarm LED, and, if configured, an
SNMP trap. If you are operating your C150 chassis with a redundant power supply, you can install,
remove, or replace a power supply without affecting system operation. If you are operating your C150
system with only one power supply, you must completely power off the system to replace a power supply
NOTE: If a power supply fails, the entire unit must be replaced. There are no field serviceable parts inside the
unit.
