Installing a Hot-Plug Power Supply
The ProLiant 8500 ships with either one or two hot-plug power supplies
depending on the model. The system power in the ProLiant 8500 Server does
not have to be shut off to replace one of the power supplies.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
Install the power supply before connecting the power cord to the power
supply.
Unplug the power cord before removing the power supply from the server.
Disconnect power from the server by unplugging all power cords from
either the electrical outlet or the server.
To replace a hot-plug power supply with the system power ON:
1. Remove the power cord from the power supply to be replaced and
release the power cord clamp.
