Replacing a Power Supply

1With the power-supply handle in the extended position, slide the new power supply into the chassis. See Figure 3-8.

2Rotate the handle down until it is completely flush with the power-supply faceplate and the orange snap engages. See Figure 3-8.

3Insert the power cable through the cable retention bracket, connect the power cable to the power supply, and plug the cable into a power outlet.

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 supply status indicator will turn green to signify that the power supply is functioning properly. See Figure 1-4.

Removing the Power Supply Blank

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw on the left side of the blank, rotate the blank slightly to clear the bay, and remove from the chassis.

NOTICE: To ensure proper system cooling, the power supply blank must be installed on the unoccupied power supply bay in a non-redundant configuration. Remove the power supply blank only if you are installing a second power supply.
