Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

6-9

6-5 Power 

Supply

The SuperServer 6014H-T has a single 500 watt power supply, which is auto-switch-

ing capable.  This enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100v to 240v 

input voltage.  An amber light will be illuminated on the power supply when the power 

is off.  An illuminated green light indicates that the power supply is operating.   

Power Supply Failure

If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace 

the 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 6014H-T, 

power must be completely removed from the server 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 off, then unplug the power cord 

from the system.  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.  To remove the failed power unit, push the beige colored release 

tab to the right and then carefully lift the unit up about 1/2 inch only.  If you lift 

too high, you may damage the power distribution board that the other end of the 

unit is connected to.  Then, pull the power unit straight back to unplug it from the 

power distribution board.  See Figure 6-6.  

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 to plug it into the power 

distribution board, making sure you are not holding it at too great an angle, which 

may damage the power distribution board.  Push it completely into the power 

distribution board and seat it in the chassis.  When correctly installed it should 

be laying fl at - make sure the end of the power supply is not sitting on the stop 

in the chassis.  Reconnect the power cord, replace the chassis top cover and 

reposition the unit back into the rack.  Finish by depressing the power button on 

the chassis front control panel.
