Replacing the power supply

Observe the following instructions for removing the power supply and installing a new one. Your power supply can be removed without disconnecting power supply cables or removing screws.

To replace the power supply:

1Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if installed), and all external peripheral devices.

2Remove the right panel. (See “Removing the side panels” on page 19 and observe the “Static electricity precautions” on page 17.)

3Pull the power supply release lever away from the chassis. This releases the power supply from its connector and moves it out from the back of the chassis.
