Hot-plug Power Supply Units

A redundant power supply can be created by installing a second hot-plug
power supply unit (optional). If one power supply unit fails, the other unit
ensures operation can continue. The defective power supply unit can be
replaced online (hot-swap).

Removing the Dummy Module

The slot for the second power supply unit is provided with a dummy module that
must be removed before installing a second power supply unit.
Ê Release the fastening screw and remove the dummy module from the slot.

CAUTION!
Keep the dummy module for future use. If the power supply unit is
removed again and not replaced with a new unit, the dummy module
must be reinstalled due to cooling, to comply with applicable EMC
regulations (regulations on electromagnetic compatibility) and to protect
against fire.
