NOTE:

Because this component is used in several products, the drawings may reflect a different enclosure than

the one you have. The removal and replacement procedure is the same for each product.

Before you begin

Observe the following precautions when replacing the power supply/blower.

CAUTION:

You have only seven minutes to perform the replacement procedure! Both power supplies must be

installed for the enclosure to cool properly. If a power supply fails, leave it in place in the enclosure until

a new power supply is available to install. The enclosure could shut down due to overheating unless the

power supply is replaced within seven minutes of removal of the failed/failing power supply.
If cabling is obstructing access to the power supply/blower, carefully move the cables out of the way

to avoid loosening any connections.
Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Use proper anti-static protection. Refer to the

documentation that shipped with your system for additional information.
Have a copy of the product User Guide available for reference. You can download a copy of the User

Guide from the product support page on the HP website.

If HP Command View EVA does not present a status consistent with the power supply/blower status

indicator, or if HP Command View or your system monitoring tool indicates multiple hardware failures,
