How to Install Cisco Power Supply

• Power off the Cisco device or chassis and unplug it from the power source before starting installation.
• Verify that the power supply is the correct plug-in module for your specific Cisco model or enclosure and that it meets the device’s power requirements (12 V DC, up to 500 W).
• Ensure the local electrical outlet or power strip provides either 120 V AC or 230 V AC, depending on your region, and that proper grounding is in place.
• Insert the Cisco Power Supply module into the designated plug-in slot or bay in the chassis or enclosure until it seats securely. You may hear a click as it locks into place.
• Reconnect the power source, power on the equipment, and monitor the device indicators to confirm that the 12 V DC output is active and the system recognizes the power supply. If your device includes a management interface, verify that the power supply status shows as healthy and online.
• Follow any device-specific startup procedures recommended by Cisco for your model to complete the integration and verify normal operation under typical workloads.
