Installing the Power Supply

NOTICE: On a rack system, you may need to temporarily unlatch and lift the cable management arm. For information about the cable management arm, see the system’s Rack Installation Guide.

NOTICE: For more information about the power cable retention bracket, see Getting Started With Your System.

1Lower the power supply into the system and slide the power supply into place against the back panel of the system. See Figure 3-6.

2Reinstall the screw that secures the power supply to the chassis.

3Connect the two power supply cables to the POWER1 and POWER2 connectors on the system board. See Figure 3-6.

4If applicable, route the hard drive power cables through the oval opening in the chassis brace and connect them to the hard drives.

5Close the system. See "Closing the System."
