Servicing Power Supplies

Some versions of the Sun Fire X4450 servers are equipped with redundant
hot-swappable power supplies. Redundant power supplies enable you to remove
and replace a power supply without shutting the server down, provided that the
other power supply is online and working.
If a power supply fails and you do not have a replacement available, leave the failed
power supply installed to ensure proper air flow in the server.
