DigitalMedia™ Power Supplies: 
DM-MDA-64-PWS/DM-MDA-128-PWS 

Two redundant DM-MDA-64-PWS power supplies 
occupy the DM-MD64X64. Three redundant  
DM-MDA-128-PWS power supplies occupy the  
DM-MD128X128. This document provides instructions 
for replacing a failed power supply. 

CAUTION:

  Before removing a power supply from a 

power supply slot, ac power must be removed from the 
power supply to prevent damage to the equipment.  
In addition, the replacement power supply must be 
installed before power is reconnected.  

CAUTION:

  The power supplies are static sensitive. 

Standard electrostatic discharge precautions should be 
followed when handling the power supplies.  

NOTE:

  Although the DigitalMedia™ switcher continues 

to operate if a single power supply fails, it is 
recommended that the failed power supply be replaced 
as soon as possible to restore power supply 
redundancy. 

NOTE:

  The power supplies are hot swappable; 

therefore, a failed power supply can be replaced without 
shutting down the DigitalMedia switcher. 

To replace a power supply: 

1.  Disconnect the power cord connected to the 

power inlet of the power supply being replaced. 

2.  Using a Phillips head screwdriver, loosen—but 

do not remove—the Phillips head screw that 
holds the power supply retainer plate in place. 

 

3.  Do either of the following: 

  For the DM-MDA-64-PWS, slide the retainer 

plate upward until it clears the power supply, 
and then tighten the screw just enough to 
hold the retainer plate in place. 

  For the DM-MDA-128-PWS, slide the 

retainer plate sideways until it clears the 
power supply. 

4.  Do either of the following: 

  For the DM-MDA-64-PWS, lift up the locking 

tab of the power supply, and then use the 
power supply handle to pull the power 
supply out of the slot.  

  For the DM-MDA-128-PWS, use the power 

supply handle to pull the power supply out of 
the slot. 

5.  Insert the replacement power supply into the 

slot until the power supply is fully seated. 

6. (DM-MDA-64-PWS 

only) 

Loosen the screw that 

holds the retainer plate in place. 

7.  Slide the retainer plate back in place, and then 

tighten the screw just enough to hold the plate 
in place—do not overtighten the screw. 

8.  Connect the power cord to the power inlet of the 

power supply.
