90 SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server Service Manual • June 2011
About Power Supplies
The server is equipped with redundant hot-swappable power supplies. Redundant
power supplies enable you to remove and replace a power supply without shutting
the server down, provided that at least two other power supplies are online and
working.
Note – If a power supply fails and you do not have a replacement available, leave
the failed power supply installed to ensure proper airflow in the server.

Caution – Hazardous voltages are present. To reduce the risk of electric shock and
danger to personal health, follow the instructions.
Note – If you are servicing Power Supply 0, you must disconnect the cable
management arm support strut.
1. Identify which power supply requires replacement.
An amber LED on a power supply indicates that a failure was detected. In
addition, the show faulty command indicates which power supply is faulty. See
“Detecting Faults” on page 34.
2. Gain access to the rear of the server where the faulty power supply is located.
If necessary, slide the system partially out of the rack to obtain better access to the
rear panel.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the faulty power supply.
