Remove a Power Supply

Removing a power supply is a hot-swap operation. You do not need to power off the server before you remove the power supply.

1. Determine which power supply to remove.

   See Locate a Faulty Power Supply.

2. Consider your next step.

   • If you have not prepared for service, do so now. See Preparing for Service.

   • If you are removing a power supply as part of another component's removal or installation procedure, go to Step 3.

3. Disconnect the power cord from the power supply.

   See Disconnect Power Cords and Data Cables.

4. Press the release tab to the left and pull on the handle.
   
5. Continue to pull on the handle to slide the power supply out of the chassis.
   
6. Set the power supply aside.
7. Consider your next step.

   • If you removed a power supply as part of a replacement operation, install a new power supply. See Install a Power Supply.

   • If you removed a power supply as part of another component's removal or installation procedure, return to that procedure. See Component Service Task Reference for assistance.
