This topic provides instructions on how to install or replace a hot-swap redundant power supply.
The hot-swap redundant power supply adds a second source of power to the server. When the server is populated with two hot-swap redundant power supplies, it can withstand a power loss from either power supply. This helps you avoid significant interruption to the operation of the server when a power supply fails. You can replace the failing hot-swap redundant power supply without turning off the server.
Some server models come with only one power supply. You can purchase a hot-swap redundant power supply option from Lenovo.
