Redundant power supply installation

The NetIron CES 2000 or NetIron CER 2000 device ships with one alternating-current (AC) power

supply or direct-current (DC) power supply. All models have two power supply slots, enabling you to

install a second power supply for redundancy. If desired, you can install a second supply for

redundancy.

CAUTION

Changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

If you need to install a redundant power supply, it may be easier to install it before mounting the

device, although the power supplies are “hot swappable” and can be installed or removed after the

device is mounted and powered on.

This section provides the following procedures:

• Installing a redundant AC power supply – “Installing an AC power supply” on page 25

• Installing a redundant DC power supply – “Installing a DC power supply” on page 27
