Power Supplies

Your system supports the following power supply modules:

375 W (non-redundant power supply)

400 W (redundant power supply)

If two power supplies are installed, the second power supply provides
hot-swappable, power redundancy. In redundant mode, the system
distributes the power load across both power supplies to maximize efficiency.
When a power supply is removed with the system powered on, the full power
load is picked up by the remaining power supply.

Removing a Redundant Power Supply

CAUTION:

The system requires one power supply to operate normally.

On power-redundant systems, remove and replace only one power supply
at a time in a system that is powered on.

1 Disconnect the power cable from the power supply.
2 Press the release latch and slide the power supply out of the chassis.

See Figure 3-14.
