Power supply maintenance guidelines
Follow these guidelines for maintaining power supplies:
You can replace a power supply without disrupting operations if an alternate, functioning power supply is installed and
connected to power.
For proper cooling, do not leave a power supply slot open. Do not remove a power supply until you are ready to replace
it.
A server can operate with only one functioning power supply. However, replace a failed or failing power supply as soon
