Installing an Extreme Networks AC PSU

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools and equipment to install or remove an Extreme Networks AC PSU:

●ESD-preventive wrist strap

●Power supply cord (110 V AC, 220 V AC, or applicable to country of use)

A power cord for use in the United States is provided with each PSU. For use outside of the United States, this PSU requires a power supply cord set certified for the country of use. See the input specifications in Table 22 on page 172.

●Thermal protective gloves (required for removal)

Installing the PSU

CAUTION

Make sure that the Extreme Networks AC PSU circuit is not overloaded. Use proper over-current protection, such as a circuit-breaker, to prevent over-current conditions.

To install an Extreme Networks AC PSU:

1Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the metal end to the ground receptacle on the top-left corner of the switch front panel.

2Verify that the PSU is right side up and the locking handle is open (see Figure 50).

3Carefully slide the AC PSU all the way into the power supply bay (see Figure 51).

CAUTION

Do not slam the AC PSU into the system switch backplane. Use the locking handle to secure the AC PSU in the power supply bay.
