Removing and replacing a power supply should only be performed by a qualified service provider. For information about removing and installing power supplies, see the Sun Fire 280R Server Service Manual.

Power supplies in a redundant configuration feature a hot-swap capability. This means that you can remove and replace a faulty power supply without turning off the system power or even shutting down the operating system. If the system is running on one power supply, you can also add a second supply without interrupting processing.

Three LED indicators on the front of the power supply display AC and DC status, and fault conditions. For additional details, see “Power Supply Failure” on page 195.

Note –Sun Fire 280R power supplies shut down automatically in response to certain over-temperature and power fault conditions. To recover from an automatic shutdown, you must disconnect the AC power cord, wait roughly 10 seconds, and then reconnect the power cord.
