8.3.1 Replacing a power supply unit
If a power supply unit fails the yellow power supply failure LED on the front panel
turns on. The defective power supply unit can be replaced without turning the
server power off.
V CAUTION!
Because of chassis airflow disruption, the power supply unit bay should
not be vacant and/or not covered for more than five minutes when server
power is on. Exceeding the five-minute limit may cause damage to
certain drives.
Ê Look at the yellow LED (2) on the back side of the server (see figure 22 on
page 94) to determine which power supply unit is defective.

„Predictive Failure“: The power supply unit
is about to fail in the near future because
the fan is performing poorly. The power
supply unit should be exchanged as soon
as possible.
