Replacing a Power
Supply
To replace a power supply, you need:
■An antistatic wrist strap
■A screwdriver
WARNING: When installing or replacing the power supply when the power is on,
do not touch any naked wire, terminal, or any other part of the product labeled
Dangerous Voltage. Always wear the antistatic wrist strap when replacing the
supply.
Use the following steps to replace a power supply:
1Turn off power to the power supply you are replacing.
2Pull up on the retention clip that holds the power cord connector and unplug the
power cord.
3Loosen the captive screws on both sides of the power supply.
4Support the power supply with one hand and gently pull the handle with the
other hand until it slides out of the slot.
5If you are not going to install another power supply in this slot, install a blanking
plate on the chassis for dust-proofing and heat dissipation.
6Remove the new power supply from the package and verify that the correct input
mode is selected.
7Support the power supply, right side up, in one hand and hold the handle with
another hand. Align the supply with the guides in the chassis and slide the power
supply into the slot.
CAUTION: As you are inserting the power supply, if the pin terminal springs up,
the pin cannot be seated into the hole and the system will sound an alarm. If the
power supply has not been inserted properly, you should slide it out and insert it
again to avoid breaking or cracking the power terminals.
8Fasten the captive screws.
