Installing or replacing a power supply: 2145-92F

Use the following procedures to replace either of the redundant power supplies in the 2145-92F expansion enclosure. The redundant power supplies operate in parallel; one continues to provide power to the enclosure if the other fails.

Before you begin

Important: You can replace a PSU without powering off the expansion enclosure. However, to maintain operating temperature, replace the PSU within 10 minutes of its removal. When a PSU is removed, the reduction in airflow through the enclosure might cause the enclosure or its components to shut down to protect from overheating.

About this task

This task assumes that the following conditions are met:

You removed the PSU, following the procedure described in Removing a power supply: 2145-92F.
You removed the fascia that covers the PSU from the front of the expansion enclosure, as described in Removing the fascia: 2145-92F.
You are aware of the procedures for handling static-sensitive devices.

Procedure
