Replacing or Adding a Rectifier

Rectifiers can be replaced without switching off the dc power system and disconnecting the

equipment it powers.



To reduce the risk of electric shock and maintain optimum system cooling, always cover

empty rectifier slots with blanking panels.

To avoid electric shock do not place hands inside the rectifier shelf.

Do not attempt to disassemble faulty rectifiers. Return them (in their original packaging)

with a completed Equipment Incident Report on page 105.
