Installing a GX97028 Replacement Power Supply  

 
This guide describes how to install a GX97028 replacement power supply into MTS GX7000/10, 
GX7100/10, GX7200/10, GX7300/10 revision C or higher, GX7600/10 and GX7800 chassis. The 
replacement power supply utilizes a 24-Pin ATX plug connector while the MTS backplane for 
certain models utilize a 20-Pin ATX socket connector. 

 

Relevant Information 

 
The ATX power supply provided will have a 24-pin connector that will be plugged into the 
backplane of the chassis models listed above. The ATX Power Supply Connector (labeled CN1) 
depicted in Figure 1 will have pins one through three marked with raised bars on the connector 
housing: one bar for pin 1, two bars for pin 2 and three bars for pin 3.  On the reverse side of 
this connector, you will see the latch and a green control line.

Required Equipment 

A Phillips and Torx-10 screw driver will be necessary for opening the chassis.  
 
RTV silicone adhesive (DOW 3145 or equivalent) and nylon tie wraps will be necessary to secure 
connectors and cables within the chassis.  
 
It may be necessary to obtain a 2-way Internal Power Y splitter cable depending on the chassis 
configuration. See step 4 of Installation Process for more details.  
 
It is advised to have the proper ESD equipment during the entire process.
