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.

  1. Insert the AC PSU into the power supply slot.

  2. Push in the AC PSU until the release lever clicks.

  3. Insert the AC power supply cable into the power supply socket.

  4. Make sure that the power LED on the AC PSU is lit up.

Using the AC Power Supply Cable Restraint Clip

The appliance has power supply cable restraint clips attached to the Power Supply Units. Use the restraint clip to prevent accidental removal of the power supply cable.

To secure the restraint clip on the power supply cable:

  1. Make sure the restraint clip is in the open position (facing upward) and connect the power supply cable to the power supply socket on the PSU.

  2. Push down on the restraint clip to close it and secure the power supply cable.
