Replacing a Power Supply

1 If you are adding a second power supply, remove the power supply blank. See "Removing a Power
Supply" on page 54.
2 Holding the power-supply handle, slide the new power supply into the chassis until it is fully seated and
contacts the system chassis. See Figure 3-7.
NOTICE:
On a rack system, you may need to temporarily unlatch and lift the cable management arm. For
information about the cable management arm, see the system's Rack Installation Guide.
3 Insert the power cable through the cable retention bracket, connect the power cable to the power supply,
and plug the cable into a power outlet.
NOTICE:
For more information about the power cable retention bracket, see the Getting Started With Your
System guide.
NOTE:
After installing a new power supply in a system with two power supplies, allow several seconds for the
system to recognize the power supply and determine its status. The power-supply status indicator turns green to
signify that the power supply is functioning properly (see Figure 1-4).
