Removing and Replacing a Hot-Swappable Power Supply

Removing and Replacing a Hot-Swappable Power Supply
The server can have one or two hot-swappable power supplies. These power supplies are located at the rear of
the server. The supported configuration of the server requires a minimum of one power supply. You can install
or replace a hot-swappable power supply using the procedures in this section when system power is on or off.
CAUTION Observe all ESD safety precautions before removing or replacing a power supply. Failure to
follow ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
NOTE A hot-swappable device does not require interaction with the operating system before the
device is removed from or installed into the server.
The dc power to the server does not have to be off to install or replace a hot-swappable power
supply.

Power Supply Loading Guidelines

The supported configuration of the server requires a minimum of one power supply installed in slot P0 or slot
P1. You can install a second, optional hot-swappable power supply to provide 1+1 capability. The left side
(viewed from the rear of the chassis) hot-swappable power supply is identified as P0, and the second
hot-swappable power supply is identified as P1 (Figure 4-7).
CAUTION When a second power supply is not used, the empty power supply slot must remain covered
with the supplied metal filler panel. Failure to observe this caution can result in damage due to
overheating if the server top cover does not remain in place
Install the hot-swappable power supply into the server before attaching the new power cord.
CAUTION
Failure to observe this caution can result in damage to the server
