Installing a Backup Power Supply In the Power Shelf
Hot-Swapping Backup Power Supplies. Backup power supplies are fully hot-swappable. In other words,
you can add a backup power supply to the power shelf at any time without disturbing the switch’s network
functions. You are not required to power down the switch.
Installation Steps
To add a backup power supply to the power shelf, follow the steps below:
Anti-Static Warning. Before handling any components, free yourself of static by wearing a grounding
strap, or by grounding yourself properly. Static discharge can damage the switch and the backup power
supply.
1 If there is a blank cover panel installed at the backup power supply bay, uninstall it by removing the
two Phillips attachment screws. After the attachment screws have been removed, carefully pry the blank
cover panel out and away from the chassis. Set the cover panel and attachment screws aside.
2 Be sure that you do not attempt to install the power supply upside down. When orienting the power
supply, note that the power cord socket is located at the left of the power supply and the handle is located
at the top of the power supply. For more information, refer to the diagram below.

Power Supply Top

that the handle is at the top, as shown. Otherwise,

power supply bay.
