back of the Pilot, remove the velcro that
holds the power cord from the failed power supply. Note: You might need to swing the cable management arm (CMA) out of the way to access the power supplies. If the CMA is still in the way, extend the Pilot approximately 20 cm (8 inches) out of the front of the rack.Note: The fans of a failed power supply may still be spinning when the system is powered on. You can remove a power supply while the fans are still spinning.
