Cisco Systems Cisco 12008 manual Adding, Removing, or Replacing a DC-Input Power Supply

Adding, Removing, or Replacing a DC-Input Power Supply

Step 8 Using a 10 mm nutdriver (or a 1/4-inch socket wrench with a 10 mm deep-well socket) loosen the nuts securing the negative (–) power cable to the bottom terminals on the power supply faceplate; remove the nuts and locking washers from the terminals and set this hardware aside temporarily.

Step 9 Proceed in like manner to remove the remaining power cables from the positive

(+)terminals and the grounding terminals, making sure that you remove the earth ground cable last.

Step 10 For added safety, place tape over the exposed lugs of the power cables to prevent contact between the leads.

Step 11 If leads are attached to the circuit breaker alarm terminal block on the power supply faceplate (see Figure 7-9), make a note of how these leads are connected so that they can be properly reconnected later.

Step 12 Using a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the captive installation screw on the power supply faceplate (see Figure 7-6).

Step 13 Grasp the power supply carrying handle with your left hand and pull the unit halfway out of the bay to disengage the blind-mating connector at the back of the power supply from the backplane.

Warning The DC-input power supply weighs 14 lb (6.36 kg). For safety, use both hands to remove the unit from the power supply bay.

Step 14 Place your right hand beneath the power supply to support its weight; withdraw the unit completely from the bay.

Step 15 Set the power supply aside in a safe place, pending further disposition.

If you intend to return the removed power supply to the factory for repair or replacement, repackage the unit properly for return shipment using the original packing materials, if available.
