How to install Cisco Nexus 9300 1200W AC PS, Port-side Intake

• Power considerations: Review the device maintenance policy. Some Nexus 9300 configurations support hot-swapping of power supplies, which allows replacement without powering down the entire switch—confirm your specific chassis capabilities before proceeding.
• Prepare the workspace: Ensure you have a secure rack, clear access to the PSU bay, and appropriate ESD protections in place. Have the correct AC input cable ready for your region (120 V or 230 V).
• Access the PSU bay: Remove any front bezel, panel, or doors as dictated by your chassis model to expose the PSU slots. Identify the empty PSU bay or the faulty unit you are replacing.
• Insert the PSU: Align the new 1200W AC PS with the PSU rails and slide it into the bay until it seats firmly. Listen for a click or confirm the latch engages, depending on your model's design.
• Secure and connect: Attach the AC input power cable to the PSU and ensure any locking mechanism is engaged. If your chassis supports redundancy, verify the second PSU is present and correctly seated.
• Power and verify: Restore power to the device (or the PSU, if handling a hot-swappable replacement). Check the power indicator on the PSU and monitor the switch’s management interface for normal status, ensuring there are no fault indicators and that the system recognizes the new PSU.
