Remove a Power Supply

Removing a power supply is a hot-swap operation. You do not need to power off the switch before you remove the power supply.

1. Determine which power supply to remove.

   See Locate a Faulty Power Supply.

2. Consider your next step.
   • If you have not prepared for service, you must do so now.

     See Preparing for Service.

   • If you have completed those prerequisite tasks, go to Step 3.
3. Squeeze the upper and lower halves of the release lever together, and pull the lever in an upward motion.
   
4. Use the release lever to pull the power supply from the switch chassis.
   
5. Use your other hand to take the weight of the power supply as it exits the chassis.
6. Set the power supply aside.
7. Determine your next step:
   • If you removed the power supply as part of another service task, return to that task.
   • If you will be installing a new power supply, continue to Install a Power Supply.
