SUPER MICRO Computer 2042G-TRF Power Supply Failure, Removing/Replacing the Power Supply

A+ SERVER 2042G-TRF/6RF User's Manual

6-5 Power Supply

The A+ SERVER 2042G-TRF/6RF has a 1400 watt redundant power supply consisting of two power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-switching capability, which enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100V - 240V input voltage.

Power Supply Failure

If either of the two power supply modules fail, the other module will take the full load and allow the system to continue operation without interruption. The PWR Fail LED will illuminate and remain on until the failed unit has been replaced. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see contact information in the Preface). The power supply units have a hot-swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed unit without powering down the system.

Removing/Replacing the Power Supply

You do not need to shut down the system to replace a power supply unit. The backup power supply module will keep the system up and running while you replace the failed hot-swap unit. Replace with the same model (see part number in Appendix D), which can be ordered directly from Supermicro.

Removing the power supply

1.First unplug the power cord from the failed power supply module. The top/ bottom power socket corresponds to the top/bottom power module.

2.Depress the locking tab on the power supply module.

3.Use the handle to pull the module straight out.

Installing a new power supply

1.Replace the failed hot-swap unit with another identical power supply unit.

2.Push the new power supply unit into the power bay until you hear a click.

3.Finish by plugging the AC power cord back into the socket.
