running while a power supply is being removed and replaced, but the power supply itself should
not be connected to a power source. Otherwise, you could be injured or the power supply or other
parts of the device could be damaged.
DANGER
The front panel of a power supply includes a handle that locks the power supply in the device.
This handle is a locking mechanism only and should not be used to lift and carry the power
supply. You may sustain physical injury or harm if you attempt to lift and carry a power supply
using the locking handle.
1. Disconnect the power supply from the power source.
2. Disconnect the power cables from the power supply.
3. Remove the power supply from the device:
•
For a 4-slot device: Use the screwdriver to loosen the two screws on both sides of the
power supply faceplate. Then pull the ejectors forward until the power supply disconnects
from the backplane.
•
For an 8-slot or 16-slot device: Pull up on the plunger on the faceplate and pull the handle
toward you until the power supply is released.
•
For a 32-slot device: Make sure the captured screw underneath the latch handle on the
power supply faceplate is loose. Pull down on the latch handle and curl your fingers over
the handle. Pull the handle straight out toward you to unlock the power supply (see
Figure 230
).
Pull the power supply out of the device.
