Replacing a hot-swap power supply
Your server uses 430 W hot-swappable power supply modules. If your server
has all three power supply modules installed, the modules act as redundant,
hot-swappable power supplies. If one of the three power supplies fails, the other
power supplies support the server while you replace the failed power supply.
You do not need to turn off the server or disconnect peripheral devices to
replace a failed redundant power supply.
Warning
To replace a power supply:
1
If only two power supplies are installed, follow the instructions in
"Preventing static electricity discharge" on page
turn off the server, then unplug the power cords and all other cables
connected to the server.
2
Remove the front cover, if installed. For instructions, see
cover" on page
3
Identify the failed power supply. On a failed power supply, the power
supply's LED is off.
If only two power supplies are installed (non-redundant),
you must turn off all power to the server before replacing
a power supply.
The power supplies in this server contains no
user-serviceable parts. Only a qualified computer
technician should service the power supplies.
Your server comes with 3-wire AC power cords fitted with
the correct plug style for your region. If this plug does not
match the connector on your UPS or wall outlet, do not
attempt to modify the plug in any way. Use a UPS or wall
outlet that is appropriate for the supplied AC power cords.
