You can replace either of the two hot-swap redundant power
supplies in an enclosure. These redundant power supplies operate in
parallel, one continuing to power the enclosure if the other fails.
Attention:
Even though many of these components are hot-swappable, they are
intended to be used only when your system is not active (no I/O operations). If your system
is powered on and processing I/O operations, go to the management GUI and follow the fix procedures. Initiating the replacement actions
without the assistance of the fix procedures can result in loss of
data or loss of access to data.
Be careful when
you are replacing the hardware components that are located in the
back of the system that you do not inadvertently disturb or remove
any cables that you are not instructed to remove.
- Ensure that you are aware of the procedures for handling static-sensitive
devices before you replace the power supply.
To replace the power supply, do the following steps:
- Read the safety information in Preparing to remove and replace parts.
- Confirm that you know which power supply must be replaced.

- Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. Release
the cable retention clip and disconnect the power cord from the power
supply that you are replacing.
- Locate the orange release tab at the top edge of the power
supply unit. Press the release tab gently until it stops.
- Using the handle, firmly pull the power supply out of the
enclosure shown in Figure 1.

Push it firmly into position until it clicks.
- Connect the power cord to the power supply and to a properly
grounded electrical outlet. Secure the cable with the cable retention
clip on the rear of the power supply unit.
Note: After the power cord is connected to the electrical
outlet, make sure that the ac and dc power (green) LEDs are lit and
the fault (amber) LED is off.
