Changing a power supply
The 8400/8800 series platforms have removable power supplies. You can
change or replace the power supply in the event of a power supply failure.
Replacing the power supply
You do not need special tools to replace the power supply. We recommend
that you perform the power supply replacement on the standby unit in a
redundant system after halting it and powering the system off. After you
install the power supply in the standby system, force the active system to fail
over and install the power supply replacement in the other unit of the
redundant system.
To halt and power off the unit
1. On the LCD panel, press the
X
button, then use the arrow keys to
navigate to the System menu.
2. Press the Check button.
3. Navigate to the Halt menu.
4. Press the Check button.
5. Press the Check button again at the confirmation screen.
6. Wait 30 seconds.
7. Hold the
X
button for 4 seconds to power down the unit.
After you halt and power off the system, you can replace power supply.
To replace the power supply
1. Start by opening the front panel of the BIG-IP unit running in
standby mode.
2. The power supply is held on the chassis by two knurled fasteners.
Loosen the knurled fastener by turning it counter-clockwise.
3. Pull the old power supply out of the system.
