Power Supply

The SuperServer 6012L-6 has a single 400 watt power supply, which is

auto-switching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and

operate anywhere within the range of 100 to 240 input volts. An amber

light will be illuminated on the power supply when the power is off. An

illuminated green light indicates that the power supply is operating.

Power Supply Failure

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

need to replace the power supply 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 6012L-6, the server must

be powered down 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. See Figure 6-5.

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. 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.
