Hot-Swapping Power Supplies
Hot swapping is supported on OS6855 switches. In order to support the hot swapping of power supplies,
the switch must have:
•
Redundant system power or redundant PoE power (if hot swapping a PoE supply)
•
Power supply tray(s) installed directly behind the switch chassis
Note.
Hot swapping power supplies on switches without redundant system power will result in system
power interruption and a loss of network connectivity.
To hot swap power supplies, follow the steps below:
1
Begin by locating the power supply to be swapped, then disconnect the power cord from its power
source. The system will remain operational.
2
Remove the two screws located at the top of the power cord retainer bracket. Set the retainer clip and
screws aside; they will need to be reinstalled later.
3
Unplug the power cord from the power supply.
4
Next, remove the two attachment screws used to secure the power supply retaining strap to the power
supply tray. Set the screws aside; they will need to be reinstalled later.
