Caution!

You might feel initial resistance in sliding the power supply from its bay. Do not tilt or twist the supply. Resistance is caused by the supply disengaging from its 40-pin connector. Use even, steady force to remove the supply.

Removing a Power Supply Module

If the system configuration includes three power supply modules, hot- swapping is possible; allowing you to remove a power supply module without powering down the system. If your configuration uses only two modules, you must power down the system before removing or replacing the failed power supply module.

Removing a Power Supply Module

1.Disconnect the AC power cables from the power supply modules. You must hold the power supply retention clip to the side as you remove the power cord (see Figure 27 on page 66).

2.Remove the four screws (Figure 27) holding the power supply module to the back of the chassis.

3.Using the flared, vertical edges as handles and using both hands, slide the power supply module straight back from its bay (Figure 27).
