Removing or Installing a Power Supply

You can replace or install a power supply from the back panel without removing the

Xserve from the rack. If the Xserve has two power supplies, they are hot-swappable;

the Xserve continues to operate using only one supply while the second is removed.

To remove a power supply:

1

Unclip and unplug the power cord from the power supply you are removing.

2

Pull the handle to release the power supply and slide it out of the bay.

WARNING:

Install power supplies with a rating of at least 750 Watts. The power

supplies that come with previous Xserves are rated at less than 750 Watts.

WARNING:

The power supplies in a running Xserve might be hot.

Pull the handle to unlatch the
power supply and remove it.

To add a second power
supply, use the notch in the
power supply bay cover to
rotate the cover outward.
Remove and save the cover.
