FIGURE 27 Installing a power supply unit
Use the following steps to install a power supply unit in the switch.
1. Remove the blank metal plate (or a previously installed PSU) from the appropriate slot by
removing the two screws with a flat-head screwdriver.
2. Before opening the package that contains the PSU, touch the bag to the switch casing to
discharge any potential static electricity. Dell recommends using an ESD wrist strap during
installation.
3. Remove the PSU from the anti-static shielded bag.
4. Holding the PSU level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side and gently push it all the way
into the slot, ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector.
5. When you are sure the PSU has properly engaged the connector, tighten the retainer screws to
secure the in PSU the slot.
When the device is powered on, the PSU AC and DC LEDs on the PSU back panel should turn green
to confirm that the PSU is correctly installed and supplying power.
CAUTION
If you do not install a PSU in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If you run the device
with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
