see "Install an AC Power Supply Unit in QFX5240 Switches" on page 95.
The QFX5240 ships from the factory with two power supplies. Each power supply is a hot-removable
and hot-insertable eld-replaceable unit (FRU). You can install a replacement power supply in the slots
next to the fan modules without powering o the switch or disrupng the switching funcon.

1. Aach the grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
2. Ensure that the power supplies are fully inserted in the chassis and the latches are secure.
3. Locate the power cords shipped with the switch; the cords have plugs appropriate for your
geographical locaon. See "Please add the descripons of the callouts in a gure legend.AC Power
Cord Specicaons" on page 29 .

b. Connect a dedicated customer site 2-pole circuit breaker for each power supply. We recommend
that you use a dedicated customer-site circuit breaker rated for 20A (250V), or as required by
local code.
