Removing a Power Supply

Do not remove the power supply in power supply bay PS1 until a replacement power supply is available.

To remove a power supply from the SSA switch, follow these steps:

  1. Use appropriate antistatic protection when handling power supplies.
  2. If a power cord retention clip is securing the power cord, push down on the retention clip clamp tab to open the clamp and disengage the power cord from the clamp.
  3. Unplug the associated power cord from the AC inlet.
  4. Remove the power supply by simultaneously pressing the power supply lock tab to the left, grasping the handle, and pulling the power supply straight out of the SSA switch.

    Caution

    Caution

    If you plan to operate the chassis with only one power supply, the power supply must be installed in the left power slot labeled PS1 and the coverplate must be in place in the right power slot to contain EMI radiation and ensure proper air circulation.

    Precaución: Si desea trabajar sólo con una fuente de poder, no olvide colocar la tapa en el compartimiento de la fuente de poder que haya eliminado, para reducir la interferencia electromagnética y para asegurar una buena ventilación.
