Installing a redundant power supply module

The Altos G520 server power subsystem consists of two hot-swappable power supply module bays that accept standard 610-watt power supply modules. The system comes bundled with only a single power supply module leaving one power supply module bay empty. You have the option to purchase an extra power supply module to provide your system with redundant power source. This power configuration enables a fully-configured system to continue running even if one power supply module fails.

Note: The redundant power source feature is only applicable to the Altos G520 model.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, the installation of power supply modules should be referred to individuals who are qualified to service server systems and are trained to deal with equipment capable of generating hazardous energy levels.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, observe the thermal labels on each power supply module. You can also consider wearing protective gloves.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock hazards, do not open the power supply modules. There are no serviceable parts inside the module.

Caution! Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Make sure that you are properly grounded before handling a power supply module.
