Removing the Power Supply

SUPERSERVER 5017C-MTF/5017C-MTRF User's Manual

The SuperServer 5017C-MTRF has a 400 watt redundant power supply consisting of two power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-switching capabil- ity, which enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100V - 240V input voltage.

If either of the two power supply modules fail, the other module will take the full load and allow the system to continue operation without interruption. The PWR Fail LED will illuminate and remain on until the failed unit has been replaced. Replace- ment units can be ordered directly from Supermicro. The power supply units have a hot-swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed unit without powering down the system.

1.First unplug the AC power cord from the failed power supply module.

2.To remove the failed power unit, remove the two screws on the back of the power supply, which secure it to the chassis. You can then lift the unit straight out of the chassis.

3.Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same wattage. You should replace it with the exact same power supply (same model number).

4.Carefully insert the new unit into position in the chassis and secure it with the two screws at the rear of the unit.

5.Before reconnecting the power cord, make sure the power switch on the power supply is in the off position. Then reconnect the power cord, replace the chassis top cover and push the unit back into the rack.
