1. Loosen and remove the two screws from the right auxiliary power source 

connector cover (looking from the back of the equipment rack to the front) on 
the rear of the chassis.

2. Remove the connector cover. (Keep the cover in the event you need to remove 

the power box connection. The cover must be replaced to protect the 
connector.)

3. Plug one end of the auxiliary power cord into the connection on the power 

box and secure the connection by tightening the thumb screws. 

4. Secure the plug to the power box by inserting the captive screw attached to 

the bracket on the power cord in the hole in front of the power cord 
connection on the power box and tightening the screw. 

5. Plug the other end of the auxiliary power cord into the right auxiliary power 

source connector on the back of the chassis and secure the connection by 
tightening the thumb screws.

6. Secure the plug to the chassis by inserting the captive screw attached to the 

bracket on the power cord in the hole on the back of the chassis above and to 
the right of the auxiliary power cord connection and tightening the screw 
(Figure 1-1).

If standoff connectors have not been built on the back of the SmartSwitch 9000 
Chassis above and below each auxiliary power source connector, the standoff 
connectors included with the auxiliary power cord accessory package must be 
screwed in the threaded holes above and below the auxiliary power source 
connector before completing Steps 5 and 6.
