DEU Power Supply:

Perform steps 4 through 6 of the previous subsection Installing a DEU Power Supply.

Hot-Swapping a Power Supply

If you are swapping out a faulty power supply, you can determine which one to remove by checking the status LED indicators on each supply. If the Fail indicator on a BSU power supply is flashing or if the POW indicator on a DEU power supply is off, the power supply can be hot-swapped.

If the LED indicators on a power supply are lit, it is recommended that power to the system be turned off before removing the power supply. To remove a power supply, perform the following steps.

1.Unplug the power cord from the AC wall outlet and from the input receptacle on the rear of the power supply to be removed.

2.If swapping a power supply from the BSU hold its front lever and pull the power supply out of the bay.

3.If swapping a power supply from the DEU loosen its thumb lock screws and pull the power supply out of the bay, see Figure 4-66.

4.Slide the replacement power supply into the power supply bay and secure as follows.

BSU Power Supply:

Perform steps 5 through 7 of the previous subsection Installing a BSU Power Supply

DEU Power Supply:

Perform steps 4 through 5 of the previous subsection Installing a DEU Power Supply.

5.Connect the power cord to the AC wall outlet and to the input receptacle on the rear of the new power supply.
