Installing a Power Supply

1. Holding the lever in the open position, slide the new power supply into the chassis until the lever contacts the system chassis. See Figure 6-5.
2. Close the lever until the power supply is fully seated and the lever snaps behind the lever release latch. See Figure 6-5.
NOTE: If you unlatched the cable management arm in
arm, see the system's Rack Installation Guide.
3. Connect the power cable to the power supply and plug the cable into a power outlet.
NOTICE: When connecting the power cable, insert the cable through the strain-relief loop.
After installing a new power supply, allow several seconds for the system to recognize the power supply and determine whether it is working properly. The
power-on indicator will turn green to signify that the power supply is functioning properly (see Figure 2-4).
