The power
supply system consists of up to three individually replaceable power modules.
Dual power supplies are recommended for proper operation of four media modules.
In order to implement a
redundant power supply system, any two of the three possible power supplies can
be used to power the system. In the case where redundancy is required, the
supplies load balance. Should one power supply fail, the other assumes the
entire load. Each power supply module may be replaced without turning off power
to the switch. See “Installing Power Supplies” for instructions on replacing a
power supply.
Installing Power Supplies
If an
additional power supply has been purchased, place it in any of the empty power
supply bays at the top of the chassis. Note: Intel recommends that for
proper operation, you install an additional power supply if there are four media
boards.
-
Unpack the power supply from
the carton.
-
Loosen the capture panel
screws on the face plate of the power supply bay until the face plate can be
removed.
-
Using the handle, pick up the
power supply with one hand and support it underneath with the other hand.
-
Push the power supply into the
power supply bay until the capture panel screws engage the chassis.
-
Tighten the capture panel
screws simultaneously.
