Removing an AC-Input Power Supply

Follow these steps to remove an AC-input power supply:

Note

In systems with redundant power supplies, the faulty supply can be replaced while the system is
operating.

Step 1

Turn off the power switch on the power supply you are removing (see

Figure 7-7

).

Warning

Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch,
line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is off and the power
cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power
supply when the power cord is connected.

Caution

Failure to turn off the power supply could result in equipment damage.

Step 2

Disconnect the power cord from the power source.

Warning

Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units;
disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units.

Step 3

Disconnect the power cord from the power supply being removed.

Step 4

Using a flat-blade screwdriver, loosen and remove the captive installation screws (see

Figure 7-7

).

Caution

Use both hands to install and remove power supplies.

Step 5

Grasp the power supply handle with one hand and place your other hand underneath to support the
bottom of the supply, as shown in

Figure 7-8

(Cisco Catalyst 5000 supply shown).
