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

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.
