15000 and 23000 Appliances
Replacing Power Supply Units
Protected
2020
Check Point 15000 and 23000 appliances have a redundant power supply unit
(PSU). 15000 and 23000 appliances support AC and DC PSUs.
If necessary, you can replace a PSU. Note that both PSUs on an appliance must
be of the same type (both AC or both DC). Mixing AC and DC PSUs is not
supported and can cause damage to the appliance.
Important - Make sure you are electromagnetically grounded before
you install, uninstall, or replace a PSU. ESD (electrostatic discharge)
can damage the appliance.
