88 Installing System Components
NOTE: When installing, hot-swapping, or hot-adding a new power supply in a
system with two power supplies, allow several seconds for the system to recognize
the power supply and determine its status. The power-supply status indicator turns
green to signify that the power supply is functioning properly (see Figure 1-6).
Removing the Power Supply Blank
If you are installing a second power supply, remove the power supply blank in
bay PS2 by pulling outward on the blank.
CAUTION: To ensure proper system cooling, the power supply blank must be
installed in power supply bay PS2 in a non-redundant configuration. Remove the
power supply blank only if you are installing a second power supply.
Installing the Power Supply Blank
NOTE: Install the power supply blank only in power supply bay PS2.
To install the power supply blank, align the blank with the power supply bay
and insert the blank into the chassis until it clicks into place.
Expansion Cards
Expansion Card Installation Guidelines
CAUTION: Expansion cards can only be installed in the slots on the expansion-
card riser. Do not attempt to install expansion cards directly into the riser
connector on the system board.
The expansion-card slot:
• Supports full-height, half-length cards.
• Is not hot-swappable.
• Supports PCI Express Generation 1 and Generation 2 cards.
CAUTION: To ensure proper cooling, only one of the two expansion cards can
have a power consumption of greater than 15 W (up to 25 W maximum), not
including the integrated storage controller.
• Table 3-1 provides a guide for installing expansion cards to ensure proper
cooling and mechanical fit. The expansion cards with the highest priority
should be installed first using the slot priority indicated. All other
expansion cards should be installed in card priority and slot priority order.
