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 the power supply or fans may not be functional).
- Before you begin, refer to the Arista Networks document Safety Information and Translated Safety Warnings at https://www.arista.com/en/support/product-documentation.
Note: Descriptions for removing and replacing power supplies and fans are for a representative power supply or fan. Locations of status indicator LEDs may differ. Refer to your device's front and rear panel illustrations to locate the appropriate LED.
