Hot-Swap Power Supply Installation


Hot-Swap Power Supply Installation

The server comes with one power supply. You can add a second power supply to provide redundant power. After you install a power supply, check the power-supply status indicators to verify that the power supply is operating properly. See 'Power Supplies' for details.

 
Never remove the cover on a power supply or any part (power backplane and AC box) that has the following label attached.

 
Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside the power supplies, power backplane, and AC box. There are no serviceable parts inside the power supplies, power backplane, or AC box.


Refer to the following illustration while performing the steps in this procedure.

Note: You do not need to turn off the power to the server to install hot-swap power supplies.
