Note: You do not need to turn off the power to the server to install hot-swap power
supplies if your system has a redundant power supply.
1. Remove the filler panel (2) from the empty power supply bay by inserting your finger
into the depression on the filler panel and pulling it away from the server. Save the
filler panel in case you remove the power supply at a later time.
Note: During normal operation, each power-supply bay must have either a power
supply or filler panel installed for proper cooling.
2. Install the power supply (1) in the bay:
a. Place the handle (5) on the power supply in the open position (that is,
perpendicular to the power supply) and slide the power supply into the chassis.
b. Gently close the handle to seat the power supply in the bay.
3. Plug the power cord for the added power supply into the power cord connector (4).
4. Route the power cord through the cable-restraint bracket (3).
5. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
6. Verify that the DC Power light (7) and AC Power light (6) on the power supply are
lit, indicating that the power supply is operating correctly.
7. If you have other options to install, refer to “Option List” on page 36.
