Power Supply Removal and Replacement

This section explains how to remove and replace the power supplies in the Acme Packet 6300/6350. This section is for both AC and DC power supplies.

Note:

There is an ESD receptacle in the top left corner in the rear of the Acme Packet 6300/6350.

Turn the power source off before you remove or install the power supply.

The power supply is a user-replaceable component. If an Acme Packet 6300/6350 power supply malfunctions, you should remove the malfunctioning power supply and replace it. The power supply can be removed from the chassis while still installed in the rack and while the second power supply is providing system power; replacing a power supply while a second power supply continues to provide power is called a warm swap.

Both power supplies used in the Acme Packet 6300/6350 must be the same type (AC or DC). The power supplies must be populated with two identical power supplies made by the same vendor. The vendor is identified by the label on top of the power supply.
