Remove and Install the Power Supply

Step 9 Use a tie wrap to secure the wires coming from the power supply to the rack so that the wires cannot be

pulled from the power supply by casual contact. Make sure the tie wrap allows for some slack in the

ground wire. Figure 4-25 shows the DC power supply with the wires inserted and the tie wrap secured.

Step 10

Remove the tape (if any) from the circuit breaker switch handle, and move the circuit breaker switch

handle to the On position. The power supply indicators light up when power is supplied to the chassis.

Remove and Install the DC Power Supply

To remove and install a DC power supply, perform the following steps. This procedure applies only to

the chassis with a removable DC power supply: ASA 5545-X and ASA 5555-X.

Procedure

Step 1 Make sure that the chassis ground is connected on the chassis before you begin installing the DC power

supply, as described in Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage, page 2-2.

Step 2 Turn off the circuit breaker to the power supply.

Step 3 At the back of the chassis, move the power switch into the Standby position.

Step 4 Move the circuit-breaker switch handle to the Off position, and apply tape to hold it in the Off position.

Step 5 If you are adding an additional power supply, from the back of the chassis, push the lever on the slot

cover to the left to release it, grasp the handle of the slot cover, and pull it away from the chassis. (See

Figure 4-26.) Save the slot cover for future use. Continue with Step 7.
