Installing a Power Supply
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION: The System requires one power supply to operate normally.
1Verify that both power supplies are of the same type and have the same maximum output power.
NOTE: The maximum output power is printed on the power supply label.
2Slide the new power supply into the chassis until the power supply is fully seated and the release lever snaps into place. See Figure
3Connect the power cable to the power supply and plug the cable into a power outlet.
NOTE: When installing a new power supply in a system with two power supplies, allow several seconds for the system to recognize the power supply and determine its status.
