DIGITAL GIGAswitch/Ethernet System Installing Power Supplies

This document provides a step-by-step guide for installing power supplies in a DIGITAL GIGAswitch/Ethernet system. The system requires two power supplies for a full chassis and three for fault-tolerant, load-sharing capabilities, with each supply powering approximately three I/O modules. All modules are hot-swappable, meaning the system does not need to be shut down during installation.

The installation process involves carefully removing the power supply from its packaging, adhering to antistatic precautions (using a grounded wrist strap and work surface), removing a blank plate from an available power supply bay, inserting the new power supply, and securing it firmly.

To power on the supply, ensure its ON/OFF switch is set to OFF, plug the power cord into both the supply and an AC outlet, then set the supply's switch to ON. For maximum fault tolerance, it's recommended to plug power supplies into separate power sources.

Installation can be verified by accessing the system's web agent, navigating to "Power System," and confirming that the new power supply is listed as "Present" and the total system power has increased accordingly. The document also includes information on system power requirements for various components and a list of power cords by country. Further details are available in the DIGITAL GIGAswitch/Ethernet System Installation and Operation Guide.
