CHAPTER 4: Installing Components

If your server is only equipped with a single power supply, the server must be turned off and
the AC power cord removed before replacing it.
To replace a power supply module:
1 If your server is equipped with more than one power supply module, determine which
power supply module has failed (the LED on the power supply will be orange).
2 If your server has only one power supply module installed, make sure that you turn off the
server, then unplug the power cord before continuing.
- OR -
If your server has two power supply modules installed, you do not need to turn off the
power to the server before continuing.
3 Press the retaining clip on the power supply to the left to release the power supply module
from the chassis.
4 Pull the power supply module straight out of the server with the handle. It may take
considerable force to remove.
5 Insert the new power supply module into the server, with the retaining clip on the right,
until it locks into place.
6 Reconnect the AC power cord for the new power supply module.
