Installing System Components

Removing a Power Supply

CAUTION:

The system requires one power supply to operate the system normally.

On power-redundant systems, remove and replace only one power supply at a time
in a system that is powered on.

1 Disconnect the power cable from the power source.
2 Disconnect the power cable from the power supply and remove the Velcro

straps that bundle and secure the system cables.

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.

3 Pull the power supply straight out to release it from the power distribution

board and clear the chassis.
If you are permanently removing the power supply, you must install a

power supply blank to ensure proper system cooling. See "Installing the

Power Supply Blank" on page 156.
