Hot-plug power supplies

The server supports a second hot-plug power supply to provide redundant power to the system in the

event of a failure in the primary power supply. You can install or replace a second hot-plug power supply

without powering down the server.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

•

Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.

•

Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all
times.

•

Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.

•

Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against

it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord

extends from the server.
