Installing and Removing the Power Supply
IPS-4260 ships with one power supply, but you can order it with two power supplies so that you have a
redundant power supply.
To install and remove power supplies, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI.
Step 2
Prepare IPS-4260 to be powered off:
sensor#
reset powerdown
Wait for the power down message before continuing with Step 3.
Note
You can also power down IPS-4260 using IDM. For the procedure, refer to
Resetting the
Appliance
.
Step 3
Power off IPS-4260.
Step 4
Remove the power cord and other cables from IPS-4260.
Note
Power supplies are hot-swappable. You can replace a power supply while IPS-4260 is running,
if you are replacing a redundant power supply.
Step 5
Squeeze the tabs to remove the filler plate.
