Installing Power Supplies in the NetIron MLX-8 Chassis
The NetIron MLX-8 accommodates three power supplies (AC or DC) with one required and two redundant. It is
shipped with one power supply. You must purchase one or two additional power supplies if you want your NetIron
MLX-8 equipped for redundancy.
To install a power supply in the NetIron MLX-8 chassis, do the following:
1.
Remove the blank power supply faceplate, and expose the empty power supply slot.
2.
Remove the power supply from its packaging.
3.
Insert the power supply into the empty power supply slot, using the guides provided on either side of the slot.
CAUTION:
Carefully follow the mechanical guides on each side of the power supply slot and make sure the
power supply is properly inserted in the guides. Never insert the power supply upside down.

4.
For the NetIron MLX-8 chassis, install a blank power supply faceplate into each slot that is empty after all of
the power supplies have been installed.
5.
After the power supply is fully inserted, push the power supply front panel toward the back of the chassis. This
action causes the power supply connector to latch into the backplane connector.
6.
For the NetIron MLX-8, gently pull the handle on the power supply front panel upward and toward the top of
the power supply front panel. This action locks the power supply in place.
7.
For information about connecting power to the chassis, see “Connecting AC Power to a NetIron MLX-8
Chassis” on page 3-17, or “Connecting DC Power to a NetIron MLX-8 Chassis” on page 3-18.
Connecting AC Power to a NetIron MLX-8 Chassis
AC power is supplied through an AC power cord that is installed at the rear of the NetIron MLX-8 chassis.
