Hot-swapping a power supply module

If all three hot-swap power supply modules are installed, you can replace a
failed module without turning the server off.

To replace a hot-swap power supply module:

1

Follow the static electricity precautions in “Preventing static electricity
discharge” on page 25.

2

Determine which power supply has failed by checking the indicator LEDs
or using your server management software.

3

Remove the bezel. (See “Removing the bezel” on page 27.)

4

Loosen the captive thumbscrew at the bottom of the failed power supply
module.

5

Press down on the tab at the top of the failed module and pull the module
out.

6

Pull the power supply module entirely out of the chassis.
