“Hot-Swappable”PowerSupply

In spite of regular performance of routine maintenance tasks, some computer systems can experience hardware failures. Fortunately, your investment in a PE6RR provides you with the ability to easily replace the power supply in the event of power supply failure.

The redundant power supply includes two hot-swappable modules that share the power load requirements during normal operations. Should one module fail for any reason, the power load will be shifted to the other module and sound an audible alarm.

If a power supply fails, an alarm will sound to alert you of the problem. Press the square red button adjacent to the power supply to stop the audible alert.

To replace a failed power supply, simply grab the handle, press down on the release lever at the top of the module, and pull. Replace the failed module with a new one and turn on the power to the module using the power switch at the bottom of the module. The power load will again be shared between these two modules.

In order to ensure the safety and efficiency of your expansion system, it is recommended that you keep a spare power supply module on hand – just in case. Protect yourself, keep a spare. Order your spare power supply module from Mobility – PN 40- 00022-01.
