Chapter 1 Introduction to the Hardware Platforms

Replacing an AC Power Supply

Citrix NetScaler MPX platforms can accommodate two power supplies, except the MPX 22040/22060/22080/22100/22120 platform which can accommodate four power supplies. All NetScaler appliances function properly with a single power supply, except the MPX 22040/22060/22080/22100/22120 platform which needs two power supplies for proper operation. The other power supplies serves as a backup. All power supplies must be of the same type (AC or DC).

Note: If the appliance has only one power supply, you have to shut down the appliance before replacing the power supply. If the appliance has two power supplies, you can replace one power supply without shutting down the appliance, provided the other power supply is working, and if the appliance has four power supplies, you can replace one or two power supplies without shutting down the appliance, provided the other two power supplies are working.

To install or replace an AC power supply on a Citrix NetScaler appliance

1.Align the semicircular handle perpendicular to the power supply. Loosen the thumbscrew and press the lever toward the handle and pull out the existing power supply, as shown in the following figure.
