Removing the Easy Access Power Supply
To replace the power supply, complete the following steps:
1. Set the power supply down on the system board so that the built-in connector is resting on the
socket on the system board.
2. Push the hinge bracket into the hinge hole on the power supply. Hold the bracket in place with
one finger while tightening the rear retaining screw.
Ensure that there is no slack between the power supply, the chassis, and the hinge bracket.
3. Tighten the forward retaining screw to secure the hinge bracket.
4. Press the power supply down so that the built-in connector makes a good electrical connection
with the system board.
5. Continue with the balance of the installation sequence, which is the reverse of the installation
process described above.
When installing the expansion board cage, ensure that the tab on the cage latches
into the slot on the side of the power supply.
