Installing a Power Supply in an Optical ILA

The power supplies in an optical ILA are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs)—you can remove and replace them without powering off the optical ILA or disrupting the ILA functions.

Before you install a power supply in an optical ILA, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage (see Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage).

• ESD grounding strap

To install a power supply in an optical ILA (see Figure 1 and Figure 2):

1. To prevent damage to the equipment caused by static discharge, attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2. Taking care not to touch power supply components, pins, leads, or solder connections, remove the power supply from its bag.
3. Using both hands, place the power supply in the power supply slot on the FRU panel of the optical ILA and slide it in until it is fully seated and the locking lever slides into place.
