“Hot-Swappable” Power Supply
In spite of regular performance of routine maintenance tasks, some
computer systems can experience hardware failures. Fortunately, your
investment in a PE6RR provides you with the ability to easily replace
the power supply in the event of power supply failure.
The redundant power supply includes two hot-swappable modules that
share the power load requirements during normal operations. Should
one module fail for any reason, the power load will be shifted to the
other module and sound an audible alarm.
If a power supply fails, an alarm will sound to alert you of the problem.
Press the square red button adjacent to the power supply to stop the
audible alert.
To replace a failed power supply, simply grab the handle, press down
on the release lever at the top of the module, and pull. Replace the
failed module with a new one and turn on the power to the module using
the power switch at the bottom of the module. The power load will again
be shared between these two modules.
In order to ensure the safety and efficiency of your expansion
system, it is recommended that you keep a spare power supply
module on hand – just in case. Protect yourself, keep a spare.
Order your spare power supply module from Mobility – PN 40-
00022-01.
