Chapter 4 Removing and Replacing FRUs

Removing and Replacing the Power Supply

Step 7 Grasp the power supply handle with one hand. Place your other hand underneath as you slowly pull the power supply out of the bay (see Figure 4-16).

Step 8 If the bay is to remain empty, install a blank power supply filler plate over the opening and secure it with the mounting screws. This protects the inner chassis from dust and prevents accidental contact with live voltage at the rear of the bay.

Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement
