Servicing Power Supplies

The power supplies are hot-service components that can be replaced at any time. There are no slot restrictions for power supplies. Any supported power supply may be installed in any of the four power supply slots. However, in order to maintain full power redundancy, all four power supply slots must be occupied with functioning power supplies, and all four power cords must be plugged in.

For the location of the power supplies, see Front Panel Components (Service).


Note -  To take full advantage of the server's power redundancy, plug the power supplies into separate power sources wired to two separate circuits, using a 2+2 configuration.

Caution

Caution  - This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. This discharge can cause failure of server components.


These topics describe service procedures for the power supplies in the server.
