The appliances have a redundant Power Supply Unit (PSU). They support AC PSUs.
If necessary, you can replace a PSU. Note that all PSUs on an appliance must be of the same type (AC).
Important - Make sure you are electromagnetically grounded before you install,
uninstall, or replace a PSU. ESD (electrostatic discharge) can damage the appliance.
