Caution: Do not leave a power supply slot empty for more than 30 minutes while the services gateway is operational. For proper airflow, the power supply must remain in the chassis, or a blank panel must be used in an empty slot. |

Note: After powering off a power supply, wait at least 60 seconds before turning it back on. |
To remove a DC power supply (see Figure 1):
- Switch off the dedicated facility circuit breaker for the power supply being removed. Follow your site's procedures for ESD.
- Make sure that the voltage across the DC power source cable leads is 0 V and that there is no chance that the cables might become active during the removal process.
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
- Switch the circuit breaker on the power supply faceplate to the OFF position O.
- Remove the clear plastic cover protecting the terminal studs on the faceplate.
- Remove the nuts and washers from the terminal studs. (Use a 3/8-in. nut driver or socket wrench.)
- Remove the cable lugs from the terminal studs.
- Loosen the captive screws on the bottom edge of the power supply faceplate.
- Carefully move the power cables out of the way.
- Pull the power supply straight out of the chassis.
