Changing AC Power Supplies
Note: Before changing power supplies, make sure that they are securely cabled. An apparently failed power supply may simply be improperly
connected to its power source.
Infoblox 4000 Series appliances ship with two redundant, auto-switching AC power supplies or optional DC power supplies, in a 1+1 configuration.
The power supplies are "hot-swappable", allowing removal or replacement of one power supply without interrupting appliance operation and
network services.
Redundant power supplies share the power load. If one power supply fails, the other automatically assumes the full load and the appliance sends
a system alarm. The Infoblox NIOS Dashboard also displays an error under Grid Status. The appliance also sends an email notification and an
SNMP trap. This configuration minimizes the chance of system failure due to failure of an individual power supply.
Although the appliance can run with only one power supply, Infoblox recommends installing both power supplies that are shipped with the
appliance. This configuration minimizes the chance of system failure due to failure of an individual power supply.
Each Infoblox 4000 Series power supply weighs about three pounds (1.36 kg). The faceplate of the power supply contains a power LED and a
power switch. Each AC power supply provides a dedicated male power outlet.

Figure 15 Removing an Infoblox 4000 Series AC Power Supply
To replace an Infoblox 4000 Series AC power supply, do the following:
Turn off the power supply.
Disconnect the AC power cable from the power outlet.
Gently push back the red catch-release lever, grip the power supply handle, and pull the power supply unit out of the chassis.
Place the replacement power supply into the bay and push it forward until it is fully seated in the chassis. The catch-release lever will
gently click into place.
Reconnect the power cable.
Turn on the power supply. If it is fully seated, powered on, and operating properly, the LED glows steady green.
Changing DC Power Supplies
In DC power configurations, the Infoblox 4000 Series appliances ship with two redundant, hot-swappable, auto-switching DC power supplies.
To replace an Infoblox 4000 Series DC power supply, do the following:
Disconnect the DC power cable from the power outlet on the external transformer.
Disconnect the power cable from the power supply.
Disconnect the ground cable lugs from the power supply.
Gently push back the red catch-release lever, grip the power supply handle, and pull the power supply unit out of the chassis.
Place the replacement power supply into the bay and push it forward until it is fully seated in the chassis. The red catch-release lever will
gently click into place.
Reconnect the power cable. If the power supply is fully seated and operating properly, the LED glows steady green.
