Installing a hot-swap power supply

Use this information to install a hot-swap power supply.

The following notes describe the type of power supply that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install a power supply:

• Depending on your server model, the server comes standard with one 460-watt hot-swap power supply. For redundancy support, you must install an additional hot-swap power supply, if one is not installed in your model.
• Make sure that the devices that you are installing are supported. For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see the Lenovo ServerProven website.

CAUTION:

The power control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.

CAUTION:

Never remove the cover on a power supply or any part that has the following label attached.

Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside any component that has this label attached. There are no serviceable parts inside these components. If you suspect a problem with one of these parts, contact a service technician.

1. Grasp the side clip and pull to remove the power-supply filler panel from the empty power-supply bay. Save the power-supply filler panel in case you remove the power supply at a later time.
   Important: During normal operation, each power-supply bay must contain either a power supply or power-supply filler panel for proper cooling.

2. Slide the hot-swap power supply into the bay until the release latch clicks into place.
3. Connect one end of the power cord for the new power supply into the ac connector on the back of the power supply; then, connect the other end of the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
4. If the server is turned off, turn on the server.
5. Make sure that the ac power LED on the power supply is lit, indicating that the power supply is operating correctly. If the server is turned on, make sure that the dc power LED on the power supply is lit also.
