Install a Power Supply

Installing a power supply is a hot-swap operation. You do not need to power off the server before installing the power supply.

1. If you are replacing a faulty power supply, remove the faulty component.

   See Remove a Power Supply.

2. Align the power supply to the location where it installs into the server.

   The PDB connector is toward the server, and the release tab is on the right.

3. Slide the power supply into the server until the power supply seats, and the release tab clicks.
   
4. Connect the power cord.

   • For AC power supply, see Connect AC Power Cords.

   • For DC power supply, see Assembling and Connecting DC Power Cords in Netra SPARC S7-2 Server Installation Guide.

     Tip  -  If the fault is with the server's power supply unit and not with the power cord from the main circuit breaker, you can reuse the already assembled power cord. In this scenario, transfer the existing cords to the replacement power supply. Be sure to follow the safety instructions and guidelines.

5. If you installed a power supply as part of another component's removal or installation procedure, return to that procedure.

   See Component Service Task Reference for assistance.

6. Complete these tasks in this order to finish the installation.
