Hot-swapping Power Supplies

If your server is configured with two power supplies, you can replace a failed or failing power supply
without powering down the server.
CAUTION
Because of chassis airflow disruption, a power supply bay should never be vacant for more than two
minutes when the server power is on. Exceeding five-minutes might cause the system to exceed
the maximum acceptable temperature and possibly damage system components.

Removing a Power Supply

CAUTION
Any unoccupied power supply slots must be covered with a filler panel. Uncovered slots can disrupt
the airflow used for cooling the system.
1. Observe the safety, ESD, and other precautions described in "Safety Information".
2. Remove the AC power cord from the power supply to be removed.
3. Unscrew the thumb latch to unlock the power supply handle.
4. Open the handle on the power supply.
5. Pull the power supply from the chassis and set it on a clean, ESD-protected work surface.
6. Install a replacement power supply or a filler panel. For instructions, see "Installing a Power
Supply".

Installing a Power Supply

1. Remove the new power supply from the protective packaging and place it on a clean ESD
protected work surface.
2. Remove the filler panel from the back of the chassis, if installed.
3. Position the power supply with the handle at the right side of the power supply.
4. Slide the new power supply partway into the power supply bay.
5. With the handle in the open position, push the power supply fully into the bay until it stops.
6. Rotate the handle to the closed position.
7. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the power supply.
8. Plug the power cord into the AC receptacle on the power supply.
9. Use the LEDs on the power supply to confirm the power supply is functioning.
