Installing a Power Supply
To install a power supply, follow these steps.
CAUTION: Remove the power cable from the power supplies prior to removing the power supply
module itself. Power must not be connected prior to insertion in the chassis.
CAUTION: To prevent electrical shock, ensure that the system is grounded properly. If you do not
ground your equipment correctly, excessive emissions may result. To ensure that the power
cables meet your local electrical requirements, use a qualified electrician.
WARNING: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-
preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the system and its components.
