CAUTION: Removing a power supply unit significantly disrupts the enclosure's airflow. Do not remove the PSU until
you have received the replacement module. It is important that all CRU slots are filled when the enclosure is in operation.
Before removing the PSU, disconnect the power from the faulty PSU by physically removing the power cable in order to
ensure your system has warning of imminent power shutdown. A faulty PSU must be replaced by a fully operational PSU
within 2 minutes of its removal. Ensure that you correctly identify the faulty PSU before beginning the step procedure.
