The following procedures describe how to reinstall the power modules back into the chassis. Be sure to

follow the correct procedure for the type of power modules that you have.

Caution Never force a power module into the power tray if you feel any resistance! The power modules are keyed

to prevent AC modules from being plugged into a DC power tray or a DC module into an AC power tray.

Forcing a module into the incorrect tray can cause damage to the module and the tray.
