Installing an MX480 AC Power Supply
To install an AC power supply (see Figure 1):
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points
on the chassis.
- Move the AC input switch next to the appliance
inlet on the power supply to the off (O) position.
- Using both hands, slide the power supply straight
into the chassis until the power supply is fully seated in the chassis
slot. The power supply faceplate should be flush with any adjacent
power supply faceplate or blank installed in the power supply slot.
- Tighten both captive screws at the bottom of the
power supply.
- Attach the power cord to the power supply.
- Route the power cord along the cable restraint
toward the left or right corner of the chassis. If needed to hold
the power cord in place, thread plastic cable ties, which you must
provide, through the openings on the cable restraint.
- Attach the power cord to the AC power source, and
switch on the dedicated customer site circuit breaker for the power
supply. Follow the ESD and connection instructions for your site.
- Move the AC input switch next to the appliance
inlet on the power supply to the on ( | ) position and observe
the status LEDs on the power supply faceplate. If the power supply
is correctly installed and functioning normally, the AC OK and DC OK LEDs light steadily, and the PS FAIL LED is not lit.
