Remove a Power Supply

1. In the BUI, identify which power supply requires replacement.

   Go to Maintenance > Hardware, click the Show Details link for the server, click the PSU submenu, and look for the power supply with an amber icon to the left of its ID. Click on the row with the failed power supply to physically locate it in the server image.

2. Physically identify which power supply requires replacement.

   A lit amber LED on a power supply indicates that a failure was detected.
