Removing Power Supplies

About this task

You can remove one faulty power supply, while the other one provides enough power to the switch. Install a new power supply or a power supply blank module in the open slot.

Procedure

  1. Holding the plug for the power cable, pull the plug out from the power receptacle on the power supply, and verify that both the power supply LEDs are off.
    Note:

    If you need to remove an Anderson's Saf-D-Grid power cable connector from a high voltage power supply, press the tab at the top of the connector and pull the connector out of the power supply.

  2. Grasp the power supply handle while pressing the release latch towards the power supply handle.
  3. Place your other hand under the power supply to support it while you slide it out of the chassis.
    CAUTION:

    Do not touch the electrical connectors on the back side of the module and prevent anything else from coming into contact with and damaging the connectors.

  4. Insert a power supply blank module, as shown in Power Supply Blank Module if you do not have a new power supply unit.
