Power Distribution Board
The power distribution board is attached to the rear power supply cage, underneath the hot-swappable power
supply fan unit.
WARNING Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources have been disconnected
from the server before removing or replacing the power distribution board.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an ac power
source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in
the off position.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
CAUTION Failure to properly complete the steps in this procedure results in erratic system behavior or
system failure. For assistance with this procedure contact your local HP Authorized Service
Provider.
Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
