Installing a Hot-Swappable Power Supply
The server can have one or two hot-swappable power supplies. These power supplies are located
at the rear of the server. The supported configuration of the server requires a minimum of one
power supply. You can install or replace a hot-swappable power supply using the procedures in
this section when power is on or off.
CAUTION:
Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to
follow ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
NOTE:
A hot-swappable device does not require interaction with the operating system before
the device is removed from or installed into the server.
The dc power to the server does not have to be off to install or replace a hot-swappable power
supply.
Power Supply Loading Guidelines
The supported configuration of the server requires a minimum of one power supply installed in
either slot P0 or slot P1. You can install a second, optional hot-swappable power supply to provide
1+1 capability. The left side (viewed from the rear of the chassis) hot-swappable power supply
is identified as P0, and the second hot-swappable power supply is identified as P1 (
).
CAUTION:
When a second power supply is not used, the empty power supply slot must remain
covered with the supplied metal filler panel. Failure to observe this caution can result in damage
due to overheating
