   See Remove a Power Supply.

2. Squeeze the upper and lower halves of the release lever together, and pull the lever in an upward motion.
3. Align the power supply to the opening in the switch chassis with the release lever on the left and the status LEDs in the upper right corner.
   
4. Slide the power supply into the chassis until the release lever begins to lower, then close the release lever to secure the power supply in the slot.
   
5. Consider your next step:
   • If you installed a power supply as part of another task, return to that task.
   • If you installed a replacement power supply, continue to Verify a Power Supply.
