Installing an Optional, Secondary Power Supply Module

The procedure below describes how to install the optional, secondary (spare) Power Supply module.

To install the spare Power Supply module:
1. On the front panel, remove the blank panel covering the slot intended for housing the second Power Supply module, as shown in the following figure. To do this, use a Philips screwdriver to remove the two screws securing the blank panel to the chassis.

2. Hold the Power Supply module in the orientation as shown in the following figure, and then gently and carefully insert the module into the slot, by sliding the module along the slot's guiding rails and keeping the module lifted up towards the roof of the slot so that the base of the module does not touch the floor of the slot (and damage the electrical components located on the underside of the module). Slide the module into the slot until it makes contact with the card-edge connector located on the backplane.

5. Cable to the power source, as described in Section Connecting to Power.
