8Rotate the system feet outward.

9Reattach any peripherals and connect the system to an electrical outlet.

10Turn on the system and attached peripherals.

Power Supplies

Depending on your configuration, your system supports up to two hot- swappable redundant 580-W power supplies or a single non-redundant 525-W power supply.

In redundant mode, the system distributes the power load across both power supplies to maximize efficiency. The second power supply provides power redundancy; thus, when a power supply is removed with the system powered on, the full power load is carried by the remaining power supply.

Removing a Redundant Power Supply

CAUTION: The system requires one power supply to operate the system normally. On power-redundant systems, remove and replace only one power supply at a time in a system that is powered on.

CAUTION: If you are replacing a redundant power supply while your system is on, ensure that both the power supply status and the AC line status LEDs are green before removing the power supply (see Figure 1-6). If one or both of the LEDs are not green, see "Troubleshooting Power Supplies" on page 161.

1Disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet.

2Disconnect the power cable from the power supply and remove the cable from the cable retention bracket.

3Press the release latch and slide the power supply out of the chassis. See Figure 3-16.

4If you are installing another power supply in the bay, see "Installing a Redundant Power Supply" on page 122.

If the power supply is being permanently removed, install a power supply blank. See "Installing a Power Supply Blank" on page 123.
