Replacing a Power Supply

You can replace a power supply without opening the Xserve or removing it from
the rack. If the Xserve has two power supplies, they are hot-swappable; the Xserve
continues to operate using only one supply while the second is removed.

To remove a power supply:

1

Unplug the power cord from the power supply you are replacing.

2

Pull the handle on the power supply to release it and slide it out of the bay.

To install a power supply:

1

Pull open the handle on the new power supply, slide it all the way into the bay, and
then press the handle to seat the power supply and lock it in place.

2

Connect the power cord to the power supply.

If the Xserve is already running on a second power supply, the status light on the new
supply turns green to indicate normal operation as it starts sharing the load. If the
Xserve is not turned on, the supply status light blinks green when the power cord is
plugged in to an outlet with power.

The Xserve is now ready to use.

WARNING:

The power supplies in a running Xserve might be hot.

Pull the handle to unlatch the
power supply and remove it.

Slide the power supply in and
press the handle to seat it.
