Power Distributor
Chassis with multiple modules require a power distributor. The power distributor
provides failover and power supply redundancy.
Changing the Power Distributor
1. Power down the server as described in section 4-2, lay the chassis on a flat,
stable surface and remove the chassis cover.
2. Remove all cable connections to the power supply from the JBOD control board,
backplane, and other components.
3. Remove both power supplies.
4. Locate the power distributor between the power supply and the fan row.
5. Remove the three screws securing the power supply.
6. Gently pull the power distributor from the chassis, carefully guiding all the cables
through the power distributor housing.
7. Slide the new power distributor module into the power distributor housing. Make
that you slide the cables through the bottom of the housing.
8. Reconnect all the power cables, replace the power supply, and insert the plug
into the wall.
