Each power supply weighs approximately 20 lb (9 kg). To prevent dropping power supplies, use two hands to remove and install power supplies.

The power supply has rollers on the bottom end. Place the rollers inside the bay and position the power supply so that it is aligned to go straight into the bay.

Push the power supply all the way into the bay. Do not use unnecessary force; firmly push the power supply back into the bay until its front panel is flush with the chassis rear panel.

When inserting a power supply into the bay, do not use unnecessary force; slamming the power supply into the bay can damage the connectors on the rear of the supply and inside the chassis.

While firmly pressing the power supply faceplate so that is flush with the chassis rear panel, use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screw on the top of the power supply.

Always tighten the captive installation screw at the top of the power supply before turning on the power switch. This screw prevents the power supply from shifting away from the internal connector and provides proper grounding for the supply.

Step 7 For AC-input power supplies: push the cable retention clip away from the power receptacle and plug in the power cable.

Note For DC-input power supplies, proceed to the “Connecting Power to Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7507-MXDC-Input Power Supplies” section on page 3-16; otherwise, continue with Step 8.

Step 8 Secure the cable in the power supply receptacle by pushing the cable retention clip until it snaps into place around the cable connector.

Step 9 Connect the opposite end of the power cable to an appropriate power source.

Caution Do not turn on any power supplies until you are ready to power up the system. The interlock switch that locks the power supply in the slot also turns on the system power.

If you are installing a second power supply, repeat Step 2 through Step 9. We recommend you connect the second power supply to a secondary power source for redundancy.

Note To prevent system problems, do not mix AC-input and DC-input power supplies in the same chassis.
