Power supply replacement
This section provides instructions for replacing a power supply for the MediaPort 7000 chassis.
Replacing the power supply
The MediaPort 7000 chassis is equipped with two hot-swappable power supplies, each with an

IMPORTANT: Before connecting a device to SystemManager, make sure that device
monitoring is on. To check device monitoring, click the Home tab to open the Options
page, and view the “Current state of Device Monitoring” field at the top of the page. If
the “Current state of Device Monitoring” field displays NOT monitoring, then click Start
Monitoring and wait for the state to change to monitoring before continuing to connect
the device. This may take a few minutes depending on the number of devices in your
system. Also, note the status of devices may show Not Responding for a brief interval
after monitoring has been turned on.

10. On the System Diagram page in SystemManager, verify that the new MediaPort appears as
Connected.
11. In SystemManager, view and clear any alarms that were created after the new MediaPort was
connected.
The replacement MediaPort will appear in SystemManager with the default name. For instructions on
changing the name, refer to "Changing an I/O module name" in this guide.
12. Determine the firmware version running on the replacement MediaPort.
NOTE: All devices in a Spectrum system should be running the same firmware

13. If necessary, upgrade firmware on the replacement MediaPort to match that of the rest of your
system, and then reboot the MediaPort.
14. Check the status LEDs on the front panel to ensure that the system is operating normally.
