1 Replacement procedures
When replacing removable components while the switch is operating, ensure electrical safety.
Follow the replacement procedures strictly to avoid bodily injury and device damage.
Long-time exposure to strong air flow might cause discomfort. To avoid this hazard, do
not stand
close to the air outlet vents while the switch is operating. If you must be next to the switch on the
air outlet vent side for an extended period, avoid the air flow or take other protective measures.
The switch uses a modular, hot-swappable architecture, and supports removable components. You
can replace the removable components when the switch is operating.
Replacing a power supply
Provide a circuit breaker for each power supply. Before replacing a power supply, turn off its
circuit breaker.
The power supply might be of high temperature. Remove it with caution.
•To install the removed power supply in the chassis again, install it after the status LED on it is off.
Strictly follow the procedures shown in Figure1-1 and Figure1-2 to replace a power supply to avoid
device damage and bodily injury.
Figure1-1 Power supply removal procedure
Figure1-2 Power supply installation procedure
To replace a power supply:
1. Prepare an antistatic mat to place the removed power supply.
2. Turn off the circuit breaker.
3. Wear an ESD wrist strap, and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
For more information, see "Attaching an ESD wrist strap."
4. Remove the power cord.
For an AC power supply, remove the cable tie, and then remove the power cord connector
from the power supply.
For a DC power supply, loosen the screw on the power cord connector, and then remove the
connector from the power supply.
5. Press the latch on the power supply to the handle direction and pull the power supply part way
out of the slot.
