Hot-Swappable" Power Supply - Magma EB7-X8G2 User Manual

"Hot-Swappable" Power Supply

In spite of regular performance of routine maintenance tasks, some computer systems can experience hardware failures.
Fortunately, your investment in a Magma Expansion system with a redundant power supply provides you with the ability
to easily replace a power module in the event of a failure.
The redundant power supply includes two hot-swappable modules that share the power load requirements during
normal operations. Should one module fail for any reason, the power load will be shifted to the other module and sound
an audible alarm.
If a power supply fails, an alarm will sound to alert you of the problem. Press the black button on the status panel on the
front of the unit to stop the audible alert.
To replace a failed power supply, simply grab the handle, press down on the release lever at the top of the module, and
pull. Replace the failed module with a new one and turn on the power to the module using the power switch at the
bottom of the module. The power load will again be shared between these two modules.
In order to ensure the safety and efficiency of your expansion system, it is
recommended that you keep a spare power supply module on hand – just in
case. Protect yourself, keep a spare. Order your spare power supply module
