Adding a hot-swap power supply

u p p l y A d d i n g a p o w e r s When the hot-swap power supply backplane is installed you can replace the 385-watt
power-supply with an optional backplane. This backplane supports up to three power
supplies, which enables redundancy and will make the power supplies hot-swappable.
After you install a power supply, verify that the power-supply status indicators (ac
power light and dc power light) are lit, indicating that the power supply is operating
properly.
Notes:
1. You do not need to turn off the power to the server to install hot-swap power
2. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
