Replacing a Power Supply

1.With the power-supply handle in the extended position, slide the new power supply into the chassis (see Figure 4-10).

2.Rotate the handle down until it snaps into place (see Figure 4-10).

NOTE: After installing a new power supply, allow several seconds for the system to recognize the power supply and determine whether it is working properly. The power- on indicator will turn green to signify that the power supply is functioning properly (see "Power Indicator Codes").
