Replacing the Power Supply
This update replaces the procedure provided in the Gateway
8450R System Manual.
The redundant 350-W power supply provides all system
power. If one of the components of the power distribution
hardware fails, you must replace the entire power supply.

Turn off the server and disconnect the power cord and
all peripherals.
2
Remove the bezel and both top panels following the
instructions in the system manual.
3
Remove the four screws that secure the upper drive bay
bracket in place, then slide the bracket forward before
lifting it from the chassis.
4
Disconnect the cables from the bottom front side of the
hot-plug fan tray. Note the location and orientation of
each cable so you can connect them correctly to the new
board.
