Power Supply

The SuperServer 6014H-8/6014H-82/6014H-X8 has a single 500 watt power

supply, which is auto-switching capable. This enables it to automatically

sense and operate with either a 100v or 240v input voltage.

Power Supply Failure

If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need

to replace the unit. Replacement units can be ordered directly from

Supermicro (see contact information in the Preface). As there is only one

power supply unit in the 6014H-8/6014H-82/6014H-X8, power must be com-

pletely removed from the server before removing and replacing the power

supply unit for whatever reason.

Removing/Replacing the Power Supply

1.

Removing the power supply:

First turn the power switch on the control panel off, then unplug the

power cord from the system. Remove the chassis cover by pressing the

two release buttons on the top of the chassis (near the front) and push

the chassis top rearward about one inch. To remove the failed power

unit, push the beige colored release tab to the right and then carefully lift

the unit up about 1/2 inch only. If you lift too high, you may damage the

power distribution board that the other end of the unit is connected to.

Then, pull the power unit straight back to unplug it from the power

distribution board.

2.

Installing a new power supply:

Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same input voltage, output

voltage and wattage. It is highly recommended to replace it with exactly

the same model power supply (p/n: PWS-0048). Carefully insert the new

unit into position to plug it into the power distribution board, making sure

you are not holding it at too great an angle, which may damage the

power distribution board. Push it completely into the power distribution

board and seat it in the chassis. When correctly installed it should be

laying flat - make sure the end of the power supply is not sitting on the

stop in the chassis. Reconnect the power cord, replace the chassis top

cover and reposition the unit back into the rack. Finish by depressing the

power button on the chassis front control panel.
