NOTE:

When installing, hot-swapping, or hot-adding a new power supply in a

system with two power supplies, allow several seconds for the system to recognize

the power supply and determine its status. The power-supply status indicator turns

green to signify that the power supply is functioning properly. See Figure 1-6.

Removing the Power Supply Blank

If you are installing a second power supply, remove the power supply blank in

bay PS2 by pulling outward on the blank.

CAUTION:

To ensure proper system cooling, the power supply blank must be

installed in power supply bay PS2 in a non-redundant configuration. Remove the
power supply blank only if you are installing a second power supply.

Installing the Power Supply Blank

NOTE:

Install the power supply blank only in power supply bay PS2.

To install the power supply blank, align the blank with the power supply bay

and insert the blank into the chassis until it clicks into place.

Removing a Non-Redundant Power Supply

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.

You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in
your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service
and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is
not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that
came with the product.

1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect

the system from its electrical outlet.

2 Remove the Velcro straps that bundle and secure the system cables.

NOTE:

You may have to unlatch and lift the optional cable management arm if

it interferes with power-supply removal. For information about the cable

management arm, see the system’s rack documentation.

NOTE:

Remove the power cord retention bracket that secures the system

cables. See the Getting Started Guide that ships with your system for more

information.

3 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 82.
