18.2.3 Precautions for replacement
Note the following points when replacing a power supply unit:
■
There are two power supply units. Thus, the system can continue operating even
if one of the units fails. Do not, however, operate the system for an extended
period while one unit has failed.
■
When replacing multiple power supply units, replace one unit at a time. If
redundancy of the power supply unit cannot be assured, then system-stopped
maintenance must be performed.
■
Do not force push the power supply unit into its slot. If excessive force is applied,
other components or the chassis may be damaged.
