Removing a Power Supply/Cooling Fan Module

NOTICE:

Power supply/cooling fan modules are hot-pluggable. Provided one power supply/cooling fan module is

functioning normally, you can remove or replace the other while the enclosure is powered on.

NOTE:

If you remove a fully functioning power supply/cooling fan module, the fan speed in the remaining module

will increase significantly to provide adequate cooling. The fan speed will decrease gradually when a new power

supply/cooling fan module is installed.

1 Turn off the power supply you intend to remove using the on/off switch.
2 Unplug the AC power cable.
3 Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws securing the power supply/cooling fan

module in the bay (see Figure 3-7).

Figure 3-7. Replacing the Power Supply

CAUTION:

The power supply/cooling fan modules are heavy. Use both hands when removing.

4 Grasp the handle on the power supply and carefully pull the module out of the bay (see Figure 3-7).

NOTICE:

The power-supply handle is provided to ease the task of pulling the module from the bay. Do not use this

handle to carry the module.
