Supply

The 1020C-3 has a single 500 watt power supply, which is auto-switching capable.

This enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100v to 240v input voltage.

An amber light will be illuminated on the power supply when the power is off. An

illuminated green light indicates that the power supply is operating.

Power Supply Failure

If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to re-

place the unit. Replacement units can be ordered directly from the manufacturer.

As there is only one power supply unit in the 1020C-3, power must be completely

removed from the server before removing and replacing the power supply unit for

whatever reason.

Removing/Replacing the Power Supply

1. Removing the power supply

First turn the power switch on the control panel off, then unplug the power cord

from the system. Remove the chassis cover by pressing the two release buttons

on the top of the chassis (near the front) and push the chassis top rearward about

one inch. To remove the failed power unit, push the beige colored release tab to

the right and then carefully lift the unit up about 1/2 inch only. If you lift too high,

you may damage the power distribution board that the other end of the unit is

connected to. Then, pull the power unit straight back to unplug it from the power

distribution board. See Figure 6-6.

2. Installing a new power supply

Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same input voltage, output voltage

and wattage. It is highly recommended to replace it with exactly the same model

power supply. Carefully insert the new unit into position to plug it into the power

distribution board, making sure you are not holding it at too great an angle, which

may damage the power distribution board. Push it completely into the power

distribution board and seat it in the chassis. When correctly installed it should be

laying fl at - make sure the end of the power supply is not sitting on the stop in the

chassis. Reconnect the power cord, replace the chassis top cover and reposition

the unit back into the rack. Finish by depressing the power button on the chassis

front control panel.
