Power Supply
The SuperServer 5015M-MR(+)/5015M-MF(+) has a single 260 watt power supply.
This power supply has the capability of operating at 100 - 240 input volts. Power
down the system and then unplug the AC power cord to completely remove power
from the system before removing the power supply.
Power Supply Failure
If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace
the power supply unit. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro
(PWS-0055 - see contact infomation in Chapter 1).
Replacing the Power Supply
1. Accessing the inside of the system
To replace a power supply, you must fi rst remove the top chassis cover. To do
so, fi rst release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. Grasp the
two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear
a "click"). Next, remove the screws from the lips on either side of the cover then
depress the two buttons on the cover to release it. Push the cover away from
you then lift it from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server (see
Figure 2-6).
2. Removing the power supply
First unplug the power cord from the system. To remove the failed power unit,
remove the two screws on the back of the power supply and a third from the front
of the power supply, which secures it to the bottom of the chassis. You can then
lift the unit straight out of the chassis. (The power cord should have already been
removed.)
3. Installing a new power supply
Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same wattage. It is highly recom-
mended to replace it with the exact same power supply. Carefully insert the new
unit into position in the chassis and secure it with the two screws at the rear of the
unit and the third at the front. Then reconnect the power cord, replace the chassis
top cover and push the unit back into the rack. Finish by turning the power switch
on the power supply on, and then depress the power button on the front of the
system.
