6-5 Power Supply
The SuperServer 6012P-i has a single 350 watt power supply, which is
auto-switching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and
operate anywhere within the range of 100 to 240 input volts. A power
on/off switch is included on the back of the unit. This switch should be
turned to the off position before removing the power cord when replacing
the unit.
Power Supply Failure
If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will
need to replace the power supply unit. Replacement units can be
ordered directly from Supermicro (see contact information in the Preface).
As there is only one power supply unit in the 6012P-i, the server must be
powered down before removing and replacing the power supply unit for
whatever reason.
Removing/Replacing the Power Supply
1. Removing the power supply:
First turn the power switch on the control panel and the switch on the
power supply off, then unplug the power cord from the system and all
peripheral devices. Remove the chassis cover by pressing the two
release buttons on the top of the chassis (near the front) and push the
chassis top rearward about one inch before lifting it completely off. To
remove the failed power unit, unplug the power cables from the connec-
tions on the motherboard. Then, unscrew the power supply and lift it out
of the chassis. See Figure 6-5.
2. Installing a new power supply:
Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same input voltage, output
voltage and wattage. It is highly recommended to replace it with exactly
the same model power supply. Carefully insert the new unit into position
and screw it into the chassis. Plug the power cables back into their
connectors on the motherboard. Replace the chassis top cover and
reposition the unit back into the rack. Reconnect the power cord and
turn the switch on the back of the power supply to the on position.
Finish by depressing the power button on the chassis front control panel.
