Replacing a power supply module

computer technician should service the power supplies.
Your server comes with 3-wire AC power cords fitted with the correct plug style for your
region. If this plug does not match the connector on your surge protector, UPS, or wall
outlet, do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. Use a surge protector, UPS, or wall
outlet that is appropriate for the supplied AC power cords.
Your server uses as many as three 700 W hot-swappable power supply modules. If your server
has more than one power supply module installed, the modules act as redundant, hot-swappable
power supplies. If one of the power supply modules fails, the other power supply module(s)
support the server while you replace the failed module. You do not need to turn off the server
or disconnect peripheral devices to replace a failed redundant power supply module.
If your server is only equipped with a single power supply module, the server must be turned
off and the AC power cord removed before replacing the module.
