Replacing the Power Distributor
Redundant power server chassis that are 2U or larger require a power distributor. The power
distributor provides failover capabilities and power supply redundancy.
Power Distributor Replacement
1. Remove power from the server and remove the cord from the wall socket or power strip.
2. Remove all cable connections from the power supply to the motherboard, backplane,
and other components. Also, remove both power supplies from the chassis.
3. Locate the power distributor between the power supply and the fan row.
4. Remove the three screws securing the power distributor.
5. Gently pull the power distributor from the chassis. Guide all the cables through the
power distributor housing.
6. Slide the new power distributor module into the power distributor housing. The cables
must be inserted through the bottom of the housing.
7. Reconnect all the power cables, replace the power supply, and plug the power supply
cord into the wall.
