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. Follow safety and ESD precautions.

   See Preparing for Service.

3. Disconnect the power:

   • For AC power supply, disconnect the power cord from the server's power supply.

   • For DC power supply, turn off the main power circuit breaker to the server's faulty power supply unit.

     ---

     Caution  -  Do not proceed with these instructions until you are sure that there is no voltage present on the DC cords and their power source.

4. Press the release tab to the right, then pull on the handle.
   
5. Continue to pull on the handle to slide the power supply out of the server.
   
6. Set the power supply aside.
7. Consider your next step.
   • If are replacing a faulty power supply, install the 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.
