13.Reconnect the power cords and any cables that you removed.

14.Turn on the peripheral devices and the server.

Important: Perform the following updates:

vEither update the server with the latest RAID firmware or restore the pre-existing firmware from a diskette or CD image.

vUpdate the UUID (see “Updating the Universal Unique Identifier (UUID)” on page 169.

vUpdate the DMI/SMBIOS (see “Updating the DMI/SMBIOS data” on page 171).

Replacing the power supply

This procedure is used when replacing a defective power supply.

When you remove or install the power supply, observe the following precautions.

Statement 5:

CAUTION:

The power control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.
