Replacing the Power Supply

1. Accessing the inside of the system

To replace a power supply, you must fi rst remove the top chassis cover. To do

so, fi rst release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. Grasp the

two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear

a "click"). Next, remove the screws from the lips on either side of the cover then

depress the two buttons on the cover to release it. Push the cover away from

you then lift it from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server (see

Figure 2-6).

2. Removing the power supply

First unplug the power cord from the system. To remove the failed power unit,

remove the two screws on the back of the power supply and a third from the front

of the power supply, which secures it to the bottom of the chassis. You can then

lift the unit straight out of the chassis. (The power cord should have already been

removed.)

3. Installing a new power supply

Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same wattage. It is highly recom-

mended to replace it with the exact same power supply. Carefully insert the new

unit into position in the chassis and secure it with the two screws at the rear of the

unit and the third at the front. Then reconnect the power cord, replace the chassis

top cover and push the unit back into the rack. Finish by turning the power switch

on the power supply on, and then depress the power button on the front of the

system.
