Installing a power supply
CAUTION:
•
Do not install AC and DC power supplies on the same switch.
•
Follow the forward inertia of the power supply when inserting it into the chassis, and make sure
the power supply has firm contact with the connectors on the backplane.
•
To prevent damage to the connectors inside the switch chassis, insert the power supply gently. If
you encounter a hard resistance while inserting the power supply, pull out the power supply and
insert it again.
•
Install filler panels in the empty power supply slots for good ventilation of the switch.
The power supply installation procedures are the same for the HPE FlexFabric 5930 switches. This
section uses the HPE 5930-32 QSFP+/HPE 5930-32 QSFP+ TAA switch as an example.
To install a power supply:
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2.
Unpack the power supply and verify that the power supply model is correct.
3.
Correctly orient the power supply with the power supply slot (see
), grasp the handle
of the power supply with one hand and support its bottom with the other, and slide the power
supply slowly along the guide rails into the slot.
The slot is foolproof. If you cannot insert the power supply into the slot, re-orient the power
supply rather than use excessive force to push it in.
