Removing and Replacing a Redundant Power Supply

Installing a Redundant Power Supply

1 Verify that both power supplies are of the same type and have the same

maximum output power.

NOTE:

The maximum output power (shown in watts) is listed on the power

supply label.

2 If you are installing a power supply into a bay that has a power supply,

see "Removing a Redundant Power Supply" on page 103.

3 Slide the new power supply into the chassis until the power supply is fully

seated and the release latch snaps into place.

4 Connect the power cable to the power supply and plug the cable into

a power outlet.

CAUTION:

When connecting the power cable, secure the cable with the

Velcro strap.

NOTE:

When installing, hot-swapping, or hot-adding a new power supply in a

system with two power supplies, allow several seconds for the system to recognize
the power supply and determine its status. The power-supply status indicator turns
green to signify that the power supply is functioning properly (see Figure 1-4).
