Replacing Power Modules
The FastServe | Live Edit or FastServe | Ingest server is designed to run with two operating power
modules. A power module can be replaced if it fails. If a power module fails, the LED on the power
module and the front panel LED turn red and a beeping alarm sounds. The alarm is not configurable.

Avid recommends the use of uninterruptible power supplies, appropriately sized for your
FastServe | Live Edit or FastServe | Ingest server. This provides protection against sudden
power surges or losses that could cause you to lose files or experience data corruption.

1. Observe the safety precautions described in “Electrostatic Discharge Precautions” on page 28 .
2. Determine which power module needs to be replaced.
3. Make sure you have a replacement or spare power module before you continue with the
procedure.
