Power Supplies • 8–11

9. Install the new power supply as follows: 

•

Unpack the new power supply tray, and insert it into the Synergy frame.

•

Slide the lock down plate into the downward position. 

•

Secure the plate using the screws provided with the new power supply.

10. Plug the AC power cord back into the AC outlet and turn on the frame power. 

11. Ensure that the green 

PWR ON 

LED is lit.

This completes the procedure to change a Synergy frame power supply.

Note

For the frame supply, there is no calibration procedure required. The 
supply is factory set.
