McAfee M-2850 - Power supply management

Redundant power supply
A basic conguration of the Sensor includes one hot swappable supply. You may install a second hot-swappable
power supply (purchased separately from McAfee) for redundancy. Each of these modules has one handle for
insertion or extraction from the unit as well as a release latch.

Install the power supply
Task
1
Unpack the power supply from its shipping carton.
2
Remove the faceplate panel covering the power supply slot.
The faceplate panel should remain in place unless a power supply is in the power supply slot. Do not operate
the Sensor without the faceplate panel in place.
3
Place the power supply in the slot with the cable outlet facing front and on the left side of the faceplate.

4
Slide in the power supply until it makes contact with the backplane, then push rmly to mate the connectors
solidly with the backplane.
For true redundant operation with the optional redundant power supply, McAfee recommends that you plug
each supply into a dierent power circuit. For optimal protection, use uninterruptable power sources.
Remove the power supply
Note that the power supplies are hot-swappable. To avoid data interruption, do not power
o both power
supplies on an in-line Sensor, else the Sensor shuts down and all data trac stops. Power o only the power
supply you are replacing.
