Step 4 Grasp the power supply handle with one hand, place your other hand underneath the power supply, and slide the power
supply into the power supply bay. Ensure that the power supply is fully seated in the bay.
Step 5 Plug the power cable into the power supply, and place the cable retention device to ensure that the cable cannot be pulled

Connecting an AC Power Supply to an AC Power Source
To connect a 3-kW AC power supply directly to an AC power source, follow these steps:
Before you begin
Use one power cord to connect a 3-kW power supply to an AC power source and to ground the power supply.
Depending on the software power mode configured on the switch, either connect all of the power supplies to
one AC power source (grid) or half of the power supplies to the first independent AC power source (Grid A)
and the other half to a second independent AC power source (Grid B). A summary of the grid requirements
of each software power mode is shown in the https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/
