Installing a Power Supply Module

The power share board allows you to use two power supply modules or to use two modules and install a third module as a hot backup. If you install the third module, you can perform hot-swapping if a module fails.

Installing a Power Supply Module

1.If you have not already powered down the system or if you are not hot- swapping the power supply module, power down the server.

2.If you are replacing a failed module, remove the failed module. See “Removing a Power Supply Module” on page 66.

3.If you are installing an additional power supply module, remove the access cover. If you are replacing a failed module, install the new module in the same bay from which you removed the failed module.

4.Slide the power supply into its bay.

5.With even force on the flared, vertical edges, push toward the front of the system until the edges rest against the rear of the chassis and the power supply module engages its connector.

6.Install and tighten the four screws holding the module to the back of the chassis.

7.Connect the AC power cable. You must slide the cover on the AC connector to access the connector itself (Figure 27 on page 66).
