backplane.

you cannot insert the power supply into the slot, re-orient the power supply rather than use
excessive force to push it in.

Removing a power supply
CAUTION:
If the switch has two power supplies, removing one power supply does not affect the operation of the
switch. If the switch has only one power supply, removing the power supply powers off the switch.
To remove a 650 W AC power supply, 300 W AC power supply, 650 W DC power supply, or 300 W

Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is correctly grounded.
2.
Squeeze the tabs on the power cord connector with your thumb and forefinger, and pull the
connector out to remove the power cord, as shown in
Figure 31
.
3.
Hold the handle on the power supply with one hand, pivot the latch on the power supply to the
right with your thumb, and pull the power supply part way out of the slot, as shown in
Figure 32
.
4.
Supporting the power supply bottom with one hand, slowly pull the power supply out with the other
hand.
