SUPERSERVER
6-5 Power Supply
The SuperServer
Power Supply Failure
If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace the unit. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see contact information in the Preface). As there is only one power supply unit in the chassis, power must be completely removed from the server before removing and replacing the power supply unit for whatever reason.
Removing/Replacing the Power Supply (Figure 6-6)
1.First power down the system and unplug the AC power cord from the power supply.
2.Extend the chassis from the rack if necessary, then remove the top chassis cover.
3.To remove the failed power unit, remove the two screws that secure the power module to its housing inside the chassis. You can then pull the unit straight out of the chassis.
4.Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same wattage. You must re- place it with the exact same power supply (same model number).
5.Carefully insert the new unit into position into the chassis and secure it with the two screws you removed previously.
6.Reconnect the AC power cord, replace the top chassis cover and push the unit back into the rack.
7.Finish by powering up the server with the power button on the front control panel.
