The power supply is hot-swappable.
Do not operate the switch with one power-supply module slot empty. For proper chassis cooling, both
module slots must be populated, with either a power supply or a blank module.
Caution
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous
voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt
other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system
unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1024
Warning
Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a module. Exposed circuitry could
constitute an energy hazard. Statement 206
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
