Installing the Hardware

Carefully insert the rear of the casing into the power 

supply bay and slide the power supply back until its 
connector meets the chassis backplane connector.

Continue sliding the power supply back until the front 

panel meets the front of the chassis. Do not force the 
power supply into the bay. Otherwise you can damage the 
connectors.

Tighten the two captive screws located at the top and 

bottom of the power supply’s front panel. Be sure not to 
overtighten the captive screws. If you use a screwdriver, 
the torque used to tighten the screws must not exceed 2.3 
foot-pounds.

Verify that the power supply’s on/off switch is in the 

off (O) position.

Loop the AC power cord (provided) once through the 

cable retainer located on the power supply’s front panel 
and secure the retainer by using the butterfly fastener. By 
looping the power cord through this retainer, the cord 
cannot be accidentally pulled from the socket.

Once the power cord is looped through the retainer, 

plug the power cord connector into the power supply’s 
socket and then plug the power cord into an easily-acces-
sible, properly grounded outlet. Do not use an extension 
cord.

Note. For OS9000 series switches using DC power, the 
power cord connector snaps into the connector socket. A 
cable retainer is not used. For more information, refer to 
the OmniSwitch 9000 Series Hardware Users Guide.
