Power Supply and Cooling Fan Modules

The SCv3000 and SCv3020 storage system supports two hot-swappable power supply/cooling fan modules.
The cooling fans that cool the storage system and the power supplies are integrated into the power supply/cooling fan module and
cannot be replaced separately. If one power supply/cooling fan module fails, the second module continues to provide power to the
storage system.
NOTE: When a power supply/cooling fan module fails, the cooling fan speed in the remaining module increases
significantly to provide adequate cooling. The cooling fan speed decreases gradually when a new power supply/cooling
fan module is installed.
CAUTION: A single power supply/cooling fan module can be removed from a powered-on storage system for no more
than 90 seconds. If a power supply/cooling fan module is removed for longer than 90 seconds, the storage system might
shut down automatically to prevent damage.

Identify the Failed Power Supply

To determine which power supply failed, use Dell Storage Manager.
1. Click the Hardware tab.
2. In the Hardware tab navigation pane, click Power Supply.
3. Find the power supply with a status of Down.
4. Record the location of the failed power supply.
