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 that has the following label attached.

 
Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside any component that has this label attached. There are no serviceable parts inside these components.
 


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.

2 Filler panel
3 Power supply
4 Power-cord strain-relief bracket
5 Hole for shipping thumbscrew
6 Handle

To add a power supply:

 
Never remove the cover on a power supply or any part that has the following label attached.

 
Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside any component that has this label attached. There are no serviceable parts inside these components.
 

  1.  Remove the filler panel 2:
    1.  Remove the four screws 1 from the filler panel.
    2.  Remove the filler panel 2 from the  power-supply bay and save it and the four screws you removed.
      Note:  During normal operation, each power-supply  bay must have either a power supply or filler  panel installed for proper cooling.
  2.  Place the handle 6 on the power supply in the open  position, and slide the power supply into the chassis.
  3.  Gently close the handle 6 on the power supply to  seat the power supply in the bay.
  4.  Plug the power cord for the added power supply into  power cord connector 8.
    Caution:  If you install a strain-relief bracket option over the  end of the power cord that is connected to the  device, you must connect the other end of the  power cord to an easily accessible power source.
  5.  Install a power-cord strain-relief bracket 4, if  desired.
  6.  Plug the power cord into a properly grounded  electrical outlet.
  7.  Verify that the dc Power light 9 and ac Power light 7 on the power supply are lit, indicating that the  power supply is operating correctly.
