DC Power Supply Installation Procedure

1. Ensure that the DC power supply is not powered on.
2. If a cover plate is installed over the DC power supply slot, use a #2 Phillips
screwdriver to remove it. If you are replacing a power supply, unplug the power cable
from the supply you are replacing, loosen the captive screws on the power supply’s
front panel, then pull the supply out of the chassis.
3. Slide the DC power supply all the way into the slot, firmly but gently pressing to
ensure that the pins on the back of the power supply are completely seated in the
backplane.
