Note: Depending on the model and revision type of the power supply, you might need either a Phillips or
a slotted screwdriver to replace the power supply.
Removing a power supply
Before you can replace a power supply, you must remove the existing supply from the chassis, if one is
installed.
Important: If the chassis has at least one blade operating and you would like uninterrupted operation,
make sure that one of the power supplies remains installed and operational during the replacement process.
1. On the front of the chassis, locate the power supplies.
2. Disconnect power from the power supply that you would like to remove.
Note: When you face the front of the chassis, power supply 1 is on the left, and power supply 2 is on
the right.
3. Loosen the captive screw on the power supply eject lever with a #2 Phillips screwdriver, if necessary.
4. Raise the power supply eject lever.
5. Grasp the lever and pull straight toward you to eject the power supply from the power supply bay.
Installing a power supply
If a power supply is already installed in the bay where you are installing the replacement supply, disconnect
power from the power supply prior to removing the supply. When you face the front of the chassis, power
supply 1 is on the left, and power supply 2 is on the right.
You can add or replace a power supply as part of routine maintenance or in the event of a power supply
failure.
