Installing the power supply and connecting the power cord

NOTE:

No AC power supply or DC power supply is provided with the firewall.

You can install two power supplies in your firewall, and they must be the same model.

Installing a power supply

The procedures for installing an AC power supply and DC power supply are the same. The following uses an AC power supply as an example.

Step1 Locate the slot to install the power supply. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the fastening screws on the filler panel, and then remove the filler panel.

Step2 Use even pressure to gently push the power supply slowly along the slide rails into the slot.

Step3 Fasten the captive screws on the power supply with a Phillips screwdriver.

Step4 Check the power supply LED when you power on the firewall. If the power supply LED is steady on, the power supply works properly. For more information about LED status, see the chapter “Appendix B LEDs.”

Connecting an AC power cord

To connect an AC power cord, follow these steps: Step1 Make sure the firewall is well grounded.

Step2 Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC receptacle on the firewall, and the other end to the AC power source.

Step3 (Optional) Use a cable tie to secure the AC power cord to the power supply handle.
