SUPER MICRO Computer 6015B-Ni manual Power Supply Failure, Removing/Replacing the Power Supply

SUPERSERVER 6015B-Ni Manual

6-5 Power Supply

The SuperServer 6015B-Ni has a single 520 watt power supply, which is auto- switching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and operate with a 100V to 240V input voltage. A power on/off switch is included on the back of the unit. This switch should be turned to the off position before removing the power cord when replacing the unit.

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 (see contact information in the Preface). As there is only one power supply unit in the 6015B-Ni, the server must be powered down before removing and replacing the power supply unit for whatever reason.

Removing/Replacing the Power Supply

1. Removing the power supply

First turn the power switch on the control panel and the switch on the power sup- ply off, then unplug the power cord from the system and all peripheral devices. Remove the chassis cover by pressing the two release buttons on the top of the chassis (near the front) and push the chassis top rearward about one inch before lifting it completely off. To remove the failed power unit, unplug the power cables from the connections on the serverboard. Then unscrew the bracket securing the power supply to the chassis and lift it out. See Figure 6-5.

2. Installing a new power supply

Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same input voltage, output voltage and wattage. It is highly recommended to replace it with exactly the same model power supply (Supermicro part number PWS-521-1H20). Carefully insert the new unit into position and screw it into the chassis. Plug the power cables back into their connectors on the serverboard. Replace the chassis top cover and reposition the unit back into the rack. Reconnect the power cord and turn the switch on the back of the power supply to the on position. Finish by depressing the power button on the chassis front control panel.
