3. Push the blue lock button on the end of the lock lever inward to unlock

the lever. Then pull the lever outward from the power supply. As you do

this, the lever will pull the power supply out of the unit and unplug the

power supply from the connectors inside the unit. The power supply will

now be about 1/2” (12 mm) out of the unit, as shown below.

4. Using both hands, slide the power supply out of the unit. See
