Removing and Replacing the Power Supplies

The HP Integrity rx4640 server has two 200-240 VAC hot-swap power supply units (PSU). These PSUs are located at the rear of the HP server. The supported configuration of the HP Integrity rx4640 server requires a minimum of one PSU installed.

CAUTION	Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
	safety precautions could result in damage to the server.
NOTE	A hot-swap device does not require interaction with the operating system before the device is
	removed from or installed into the server.
	The ac power to the server does not have to be off to remove or replace a hot-swap power supply.

Power Supply Load Order

The supported configuration of your HP Integrity rx4640 server requires a minimum of one 200-240 VAC PSU. A second, optional hot-swap PSU, may be installed to provide N+1 capability. Each PSU requires a separate power cord.

The left side (viewing from the rear) hot-swap PSU is identified as P 0, the second hot-swap power supply is identified as P 1. Each hot-swap PSU requires a separate power cord be installed in the appropriate power cord receptacle and attached to a power cord support bracket.

CAUTION The empty hot-swap PSU slot P 1 must remain closed with the supplied metal cover when a second PSU is not used. Your server may be damaged due to overheating if the cover does not remain in place.

WARNING Be careful when installing a hot-swap power supply. It is heavier than it appears.

CAUTION If the server is powered down, install the hot-swap PSU into the server before attaching the new power cord at the rear of the server. Failure to observe this caution results in damage to the server.

To remove a hot-swap PSU, follow these steps:

CAUTION Be careful when removing the hot-swap power supply. It is heavier than it appears.

Step	1.	If rack mounted, slide the HP server back out of the rack until it stops. See “Extending the Server

Step	2.	Remove the power cord plug from the power receptacle.
