How to Identify Which Power Supply Model is in Your Server

There are two methods that you can use to identify which power supply is installed in your server:
1.

OL-20887-02
This card is supported in server Generations M1 and M2.
This server supports installation of two of these cards.
This card is supported only in PCIe slots 1 or 2 of this server.
This card must be installed in PCIe slot 1 to use the Cisco Card NIC mode (see
page 3-32). See also NIC Modes and NIC Redundancy Settings, page
This card requires that the server has CIMC firmware version 1.2(1) or later installed. There is a
heartbeat LED on the top and bottom of the card that indicates when firmware is active.
This card requires that you have the new power supply model, R2X0-PSU2-650W-SB. A 5A standby
mode has been added to these power supplies to support this card. See
Supply Model is in Your Server, page
Both power supplies must be model R2X0-PSU2-650W-SB. Do not mix power supply models in the
same server.
Visually inspect th e power supply at the rear of the server. The new power supply model
R2X0-PSU2-650W-SB has a sticker with the number 650W-SB; the old power supply has no sticker.
Use the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) GUI to view the power supply model:

Log in to CIMC using your administrator user name and password.
b.
c. On the CIMC Server tab, click Inventory.
d. On the Inventory pane, click the Power Supplies tab.
