Switch Installation and Assembly Switch Installation and Setup
Warning Never attempt to install a power supply while it is plugged in and operating.
2. With the power supply’s power cord receptacle at the bottom, align the top and bottom of the power
supply with the tracks in the slot. Slide the power supply into the chassis. If properly aligned, the
power supply should slip in easily. Do not force the power supply; if it binds during insertion,
remove the power supply and try inserting it again.
Note The power supply obscures the view of the tracks at the bottom of the chassis, so
be sure to look at that area as you begin to slide the power supply into the chassis.
3. With the power supply in contact with the chassis backplane, press firmly until the power supply
engages with the backplane’s power connector.
4. Use a flat blade screwdriver to secure the power supply to the SmartSwitch chassis by tightening the
two attached, slotted screws.
5. Insert the power cord into its receptacle on the front of the power supply. Plug the other end of the
power cord into an appropriate power outlet.
If your SmartSwitch 6500 has a second power supply, repeat steps 1 through 5.
