Adding an additional power supply module

Important

The dummy power supply can be

removed and the additional power

supply installed with the server turned

on.

Because only one power supply (which can support the whole server) is
normally shipped with the server, if you want to add a second power supply
module, the dummy power supply must be removed to make room for it.

To add an additional power supply module:

1

Loosen the thumbscrew (1) holding the dummy power supply in the
chassis, then use the finger recesses to pull the dummy power supply (2)
out of the chassis.

Caution

If you remove either of the power supplies
for any reason, you must install a dummy

power supply to ensure proper airflow

and cooling.

2

Push the new power supply module into the server, with the retaining clip
on the top, until it clicks into place.

Connect the AC power cord for the new power supply module.
