Upgrading the power supply

The Altos G530 system may ship out with a redundant or non-
redundant power supply module.

Installing a redundant power supply module

The Altos G530 power subsystem consists of two redundant power
supply module bays that accept 610-watt hot-swap redundant power
supply modules. The system ships out with only a single power supply
module leaving one power supply module bay empty. You have the
option to purchase an extra power supply module to provide the
system with a redundant power source. A redundant power
configuration enables a fully-configured system to continue running
even if one power supply module fails.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage to the equipment, the installation of power
supply modules should be referred to individuals who are
qualified to service server systems and are trained to deal
with equipment capable of generating hazardous energy
levels.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from
hot surfaces, observe the thermal labels on each power
supply module. You can also consider wearing protective
gloves.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from
electric shock hazards, do not open the power supply
modules. There are no serviceable parts inside the
module.
Caution! Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic
components. Make sure that you are properly grounded
before handling a power supply module.
