Troubleshooting: Your Array

299

CAUTION:

Power supply/cooling fan modules are hot-swappable. The array can

operate on a single power supply; however both modules must be installed to
ensure proper cooling. A single power supply/cooling fan module can be removed
from a powered-on array for a maximum period of 5 minutes. Beyond that time, the
array may automatically shut down to prevent damage.

2 Reseat the power supply by removing and reinstalling it. See "Power Supply

and Cooling Fan Features" on page 31.

NOTE:

After installing a power supply, allow several seconds for the array to

recognize the power supply and to determine if it is working properly.

If the problem is not resolved, see "Getting Help" on page 309.
