Installing the AT-8400 Power Supply Blank Faceplate

You can install an AT-8400 power supply blank faceplate with the chassis 
either powered on or powered off.

Caution

Before installing an AT-8400 blank faceplate, refer to the 

AT-8400 

Series Switch Reference Guide

 for electrical safety information.

To install an AT-8400 power supply blank faceplate, perform the following 
procedure:

1.

Begin by removing the power supply cover plate, as shown in Figure 4. 
Use a Phillips screwdriver and loosen the two captive screws that secure 
the power supply cover to the chassis. Remove the cover by angling it 
from the bottom as you slide it down and out of the chassis.

Figure 4.

2.

Select the power supply slot in the AT-8400 chassis that is unoccupied 
by a power supply. Blank faceplates can be installed in either power 
supply slot.

   Note

Always cover any unoccupied AT-8400 power supply slot with a blank 
faceplate. The faceplate ensures proper cooling and ventilation of the 
AT-8400 Series switch.

3.

Unpack the blank faceplate from the shipping package.

Caution

Observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions, such 
as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the chassis 
device.

4.

Verify that the blank faceplate package includes all the items previously 
listed in “Package Contents” on page 2. If any item is missing or 
damaged, contact your Allied Telesyn sales representative for 
assistance.

5.

Align the edge of the blank faceplate with the top and bottom guide 
rails before carefully sliding the faceplate into the slot, as shown in 
Figure 5. Slide the faceplate forward into the empty power supply slot 
until the faceplate is flush with the adjacent power supply.

6.

Secure the blank faceplate to the chassis by tightening the captive 
screw on the faceplate.

   Note

Always tighten the installation screw to secure the blank faceplate to 
the switch chassis. Leaving a faceplate partially seated can allow dust 
to enter the chassis and disrupt cooling and ventilation in the chassis.

7.

Slide the power supply cover back into the chassis and secure the cover 
by tightening the two captive screws, as shown in Figure 6.
