Installing Retaining Brackets and Connecting Power
A power cord retaining bracket is shipped with each 325 W AC PSU. These brackets hold the power
connectors in the power sockets and prevent accidental disconnection due to earthquakes, vibration, or
other disturbances. Install the power cord retaining brackets before you connect the power cords.
To install the brackets and connect power to the switch:
1 Attach a power cord retaining bracket to each installed PSU as follows:
a Remove the two screws from the AC input socket on the PSU (see Figure 100).
b Using the screws and spacers provided with the bracket, attach the retaining bracket to the AC
input socket as shown in Figure 100.
c Tighten the screws to secure the power cord bracket.

On each two vertically adjacent PSUs, attach the power cord bracket with the tightening screw on top and the
lower power cord bracket with the tightening screw underneath, as shown in Figure 101.
