Removing Power Supplies

To remove a power supply module from the chassis, do the following:
CAUTION: Power supplies are hot swappable. However, Foundry Networks recommends that you disconnect
the power supply from AC power before installing or removing the supply. The device can be running while a
power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power
source. Otherwise, the power supply or other parts of the device could be damaged.
1. Unplug the power supply AC power cord from the outlet.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the power supply.
3. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws on either side of the power supply.
4. Hold the bar on the front panel of the power supply and pull outward. This will disconnect the power supply
from the backplane.
5. Continue to pull the power supply until it is removed from the chassis.
6. Place the power supply in an anti-static bag for storage.
7. Cover the power supply slot with the blank power supply cover that came with the device.
8. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
