Replacing a power supply
In normal conditions, a power supply can be replaced without shutting down the system.
However, a power supply must always occupy bays 0 and 1. If a power supply in bay 0 or 1
fails, you must leave the failed power supply in its bay until you are able to install a functioning
replacement power supply. A failed power supply in bay 0 or 1 continues to act as an air baffle,
channeling airflow to cool the bottom row of disk drives in the disk cage. Replace the failed
power supply as soon as possible to regain power redundancy.
