Note: Before changing power supplies, make sure that they are securely cabled. An apparently failed power supply may simply be improperly connected to its power source.

The Infoblox Advanced Appliance PT-4000 ships with two redundant, auto-switching AC power supplies or optional DC power supplies, in a 1+1 configuration. The power supplies are "hot-swappable", so you can remove or replace one power supply without interrupting appliance operation and network services.
When a power supply fails for any reason, NIOS displays a power supply alarm. The Infoblox NIOS Dashboard will also display an error under Grid Status. The appliance also sens an email notification and an SNMP trap.
When the PT-4000 contains two functioning power supplies, they share the power load. If one power supply fails, the other assumes the full load automatically and the appliance sends the system alarm to NIOS. Although the PT-4000 can run with only one power supply, Infoblox recommends installing both power supplies that are shipped with the appliance. This configuration minimizes the chance of system failure due to failure of an individual power supply.
Each power supply weighs about three pounds (1.36 kg). The faceplate of the power supply contains a power LED and a power switch. Each AC power supply provides a dedicated male power outlet. Figure 13 illustrates the process of replacing an AC power supply for the Infoblox Advanced Appliance PT-4000 appliance.
