Power Supply
Citrix SD-WAN appliances are configured with a single power supply. For an SD-WAN 3000 WANOP appliance, you can order a second power supply.
Citrix SD-WAN 4000, 5000 WANOP, and 5100 SE appliances are configured with dual power supplies but can operate with only one power supply. The second power supply serves as a backup.
For an SD-WAN Standard Edition 410 appliance, a single chassis power switch is supplied. The device has an external power brick instead of an internal power supply if a desktop form factor is chosen.
The appliances are shipped with a standard power cord that plugs into the appliance’s power supply. The other end of the cord has a NEMA 5–15 plug on the other end for connecting to the power outlet on the rack or in the wall.
If you suspect that a power-supply fan is not working, see the description of your platform. On some platforms, what appears to be the fan does not turn, and the actual fan turns only when necessary.

Electrical safety precautions for power supply replacement
- Make sure that the appliance has a direct physical connection to earth ground during normal use. When installing or repairing an appliance, always connect the ground circuit first and disconnect it last.
- Always unplug any appliance before performing repairs or upgrades.
- Never touch a power supply when the power cord is plugged in. As long as the power cord is plugged in, line voltages are present in the power supply even if the power switch is turned off.
Replacing an AC power supply
Note
Shut down the appliance before replacing the power supply.
An SD-WAN 2000 appliance can accommodate only one power supply, which is not field replaceable. An SD-WAN 3000 appliance has only one power supply, but you can order and install a second power supply.
To install or replace an AC power supply in an SD-WAN 3000 appliance
- If replacing an existing power supply, align the semicircular handle, so that it is perpendicular to the power supply, loosen the thumbscrew, press the lever toward the handle and pull out the existing power supply.
- Carefully remove the new power supply from its box.
- On the back of the appliance, align the power supply with the power supply slot.
- Insert the power supply into the slot and press against the semicircular handle until you hear the power supply snap into place.
- Connect the power supply to a power source.
Note
You can replace one power supply without shutting down the appliance, provided the other power supply is working.
