Remove a Power Supply

This is a hot-service procedure that can be performed by a customer while the server is running.


Caution

Caution  - Hazardous voltages are present. To reduce the risk of electric shock and danger to personal health, follow the instructions.



Caution

Caution  - If a power supply fails and you do not have a replacement available, to ensure proper airflow, leave the failed power supply installed in the server until you replace it with a new power supply.


  1. Prepare for servicing.

    See Preparing for Service.

    If necessary, release the CMA to access the power supplies. Do not allow the CMA to hang unsupported while it is unattached.

  2. Disconnect the power cord from the power supply that displays an amber lit Service Action Required LED.
  3. Press down on the release latch to open the ejector arm.
  4. Slide the power supply out of the chassis.

    Caution

    Caution  - There is no “catch” mechanism on the power supply to prevent it from sliding completely out of the chassis. Use care when removing the power supply to prevent it from falling.
