Dell T710 owner manual Installing a Power Supply, Removing a Power Supply Blank

Installing a Power Supply

1Slide the new power supply into the chassis until the power supply is fully seated and the release latch snaps into place. See Figure 3-2.

NOTE: If you unlatched the cable management arm in step 2 of the previous procedure, relatch it. For information about the cable management arm, see the system’s rack documentation.

2Connect the power cable to the power supply and plug the cable into a power outlet.

CAUTION: When connecting the power cable, secure the cable with the Velcro strap.

NOTE: When hot-adding or hot-swapping 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 1-6).

Removing a Power Supply Blank

If you are installing a second power supply, remove the power supply blank in the bay by pulling firmly on the hole in the middle of the blank.

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

Installing a Power Supply Blank

NOTE: Install the power supply blank only in the second power supply bay.

To install the power supply blank, align the blank with the power supply bay and insert it into the chassis until it clicks into place.
