●
Power cords might contain faulty connectors that, when touched, vibrated, or flexed, can
cause intermittent power or the loss of a processor.
●
Before replacing a power supply, visually check the power cord without touching the
power cord. If the power cord molding is elliptical rather than square, or if the power
cord part number is TPN 064583, you must replace the power cord offline with power
cord TPN 421575 before you can replace the power supply. For power cord replacement

component at a time might cause serious system outages, processor halts, and
connectivity problems.
❍
Remove all jewelry and metal accessories, such as rings, watches, and necklaces,
before working with the equipment. These items can damage electrical equipment
or result in personal injury.
❍
Restrain any dangling items that can get caught in electromechanical equipment,
such as long hair and sleeves, before working with the equipment.
❍
●
Unpack and inspect the replacement power supply. Use a flashlight to examine the pins on the
power supply's backplane connector for any damage. If any pins are bent or broken, you must
order another power supply (or have the backplane connector repaired or replaced) before
continuing with this procedure. Refer to Avoiding Connector and Backplane Damage During
