CAUTION: The system requires at least one power supply for normal operation. On power-redundant systems, remove and replace only one power supply at a time in a system that is powered on.

NOTE: For systems in rack mode, you may have to unlatch and lift the optional cable management arm if it interferes with power supply removal. For information about the cable management arm, see the system’s rack documentation.

1.Disconnect the power cable from the power source.

2.Remove the power cables from the cable strap of the power supply that you intend to remove.

3.Disconnect the power cable from the power supply.

4.Press the release latch and slide the power supply out of the chassis.

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.

1.Verify that both the power supplies are the same type and have the same maximum output power.

NOTE: The maximum output power (shown in Watts) is listed on the power supply label.

2.If applicable, remove the power supply blank.

3.Slide the new power supply into the chassis until the power supply is fully seated and the release latch snaps into place.

NOTE: The systems configured in rack-mode, re-latch the cable management arm if you unlatched it. For information about the cable management arm, see the system’s rack documentation.
