Complete the following steps to install a power supply:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page v, and “Installation guidelines” on
page 11.
2. (Some models) Remove the power-supply blank from the empty power-supply
bay by pinching the side clip and pulling the power-supply blank from the bay.
Save the power-supply blank in case you remove the power supply at a later
time.
Attention: During normal operation, each power-supply bay must have either
a power supply or power-supply blank installed for proper cooling.
3. Install the power supply in the bay:
a. Move the handle on the power supply into the open position, pinch the
side-clip, and slide the power supply into the chassis.
b. Gently close the handle to seat the power supply in the bay.
4. Plug the power cord for the new power supply into the power-cord connector on
the power supply.
The following illustration shows the power-supply connectors on the back of the
server.

server in a rack” on page 36).
6. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
7. Verify that the dc power LED and ac power LED on the power supply are lit,
indicating that the power supply is operating correctly.
