3.
Unpack the power module and verify that the power module model is correct.
4.
Correctly orient the power module with the words on the power module upward. Grasp the
handle of the power module with one hand and support its bottom with the other, and slide the
power module slowly along the guide rails into the slot.
The slot is foolproof. If you cannot insert the power module into the slot, re-orient the power
module rather than use excessive force to push it in.

Removing a power module
CAUTION:
When the HPE FlexFabric 5950 switches have two power modules in 1+1 redundancy mode,
removing one power module does not affect the operation of the switch. When the switch has only
one power module installed, removing the power module powers off the switch.
To remove a power module:
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2.
Squeeze the tabs on the power cord connector with your thumb and forefinger, and pull the
connector out to remove the power cord, as shown in
Figure 25
.
3.
Hold the handle on the power module with one hand, pivot the latch on the power module to the
right with your thumb, and pull the power module part way out of the slot, as shown in
Figure 26
.
4.
Supporting the power module bottom with one hand, slowly pull the power module out with the
other hand.
5.
Put the removed power module in an antistatic bag for future use.
6.
If you are not to install a new power module, install a filler panel in the slot to ensure good
ventilation in the switch.
