Maintenance and Field Replacement
This section discusses the following topics:
Considerations
- All fans and power supplies are hot swappable.
- The switch can be running while a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply being replaced must not be connected to a power source.
- All slots must be filled or covered with a blank for operation (even though power supply or fans may not be functional).
- Before you begin, refer to the Arista Networks document Safety Information and Translated Safety Warnings available at: https://www.arista.com/en/support/product-documentation.
Note: Descriptions for the removal and replacement of power supplies and fans are only for a representative power supply or fan. Locations of status indicator LEDs may differ. Refer to the front (Front Panel) and rear (Rear Panel) panel illustrations of your device to locate the appropriate LED, the release lever or handle, and the handle for the module.
