9300, 9400, 9700, and 9800

The appliances have a redundant Power Supply Unit (PSU). They support AC PSUs.

If necessary, you can replace a PSU. Note that all PSUs on an appliance must be of the same type (AC).

Warning:

  • To protect yourself and the appliance PSUs from electrostatic discharge, make sure that you are electromagnetically grounded before you install, uninstall, or replace a PSU.

  • We recommend that you use an ESD grounding wrist strap. Connect the grounding plug on the wrist strap to the appliance grounding point.

Warning - All work related to the AC power must be performed by trained and certified service personnel only.
