Power Supplies

Your system supports the following power supply modules:

• 717-W High Output power supply
• 502-W Energy Smart power supply (the default power supply option for

this system)

NOTE:

The system does not support a mixed installation of High Output and Energy

Smart power supplies.

If only one power supply is installed, it must be installed in the PS1 power

supply bay.

Removing a Power Supply

CAUTION:

To ensure proper system cooling, the power supply blank must be

installed in power supply bay PS2 in a non-redundant configuration. See
"Removing the Power Supply Blank."

CAUTION:

If troubleshooting a PSU mismatch error, replace only the power

supply with the flashing indicator. Swapping the opposite power supply to create
a matched pair can result in an error condition and unexpected system shutdown.
To change from a High Output configuration to an Energy Smart configuration or
vice versa, you must power down the system.

1 Disconnect the power cable from the power source and the power supply

you intend to remove and remove the cables from the Velcro strap.

2 Press the lever release latch and slide the power supply out of the chassis.

See Figure 3-7.

NOTE:

You may have to unlatch and lift the optional cable management arm if

it interferes with power-supply removal. For information about the cable

management arm, see the system’s rack documentation.
