Figure 4-11. Power Supply Removal

WARNING: In a redundant system, you can remove and replace a power
supply without turning off the system. When doing so, be careful not to
touch any of the connectors on the power-supply paralleling board.
CAUTIONS: If a power supply in this computer system fails, do not
remove it from the system. The failed power supply must remain in the
system until it can be replaced with a working power supply. Failure to
do so will cause the hard-disk drives to overheat.
To maintain proper airflow and prevent the system from overheating,
each power supply bay must have either a power supply or a power
closeout panel installed.
1. Disconnect the AC power cable from the power outlet; then disconnect
the other end of the cable from the power supply.
2. Turn the locking switch on the power supply from the locked position
(1) to the standby power position (partial circle with a line through the
top).
3. Unhook the cable strain relief to free the AC power cable.
4. Turn the locking knob counterclockwise to release the power supply.
5. Slide the power supply out of the chassis.
