SUPERSERVER 5014C-MF User's Manual
6-5 Power Supply
The SuperServer 5014C-MF has a single 260 watt power supply. This power sup-
ply has the capability of operating at 100 - 240 input volts. Shutdown the system
and then unplug the AC power cord to completely remove power from the system
before removing the power supply.

Power Supply Failure

If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace
the power supply unit. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro
(PWS-0055 - see contact infomation in Chapter 1).

Replacing the Power Supply

1. Accessing the inside of the SuperServer 5014C-MF
To replace a power supply, you must fi rst remove the top chassis cover. To do so,
fi rst release the retention screws near the handles that secure the unit to the rack.
Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you
will hear a "click"). Next, remove the screw at the back of the chassis that secures
the top cover to the chassis. Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to
release the top cover from the locked position. Push the cover away from you until
it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the
inside of the server.
2. Removing the power supply
First shut down the system and unplug the power cord. To remove the failed power
unit, remove the two screws on the back of the power supply, which secure it to
the chassis. You can then lift the unit straight out of the chassis. (The power cord
should have already been removed.)
3. Installing a new power supply
Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same wattage. It is highly recom-
mended to replace it with the exact same power supply. Carefully insert the new
unit into position in the chassis and secure it with the two screws at the rear of
the unit. Before reconnecting the power cord, make sure the power switch on the
power supply is in the off position. Then reconnect the power cord, replace the
chassis top cover and push the unit back into the rack. Finish by depressing the
power button on the front of the system.
