NOTICE:
The power-supply modules are hot-pluggable. Remove and replace only one power-supply module at a time in a system that is turned on.
Leave a failed power-supply module installed in the chassis until you are ready to replace it. Operating the system with a power-supply module
removed for extended periods of time can cause the system to overheat.
NOTE:
The 1200-W power supply modules require 180–264 V, and the 2100-W power supply modules require 170-264 V to operate. If they are plugged
into 110-V electrical outlets, the power supply modules do not power up.
