Figure 6-7. Removing the Power Supply
Replacing the Power Distributor
Redundant power server chassis that are 2U or more in height require a power
distributor. The power distributor provides failover and power supply redundancy.
In the unlikely event that the power distributor requires replacement, do following:
Power Distributor Replacement
1. Power-down the server and remove the cord from the wall socket or power
strip.
2. Remove all cable connections from the power supply to the motherboard,
backplane, and other components. Also, remove both power supplies from the
chassis.
3. Locate the power distributor between the power supply and the fan row.
4. Remove the three screws securing the power supply.
5. Gently pull the power distributor from the chassis. Make sure to guide all the
cables through the power distributor housing.
6. Slide the new power distributor module into the power distributor housing.
Make that you slide the cables through the bottom of the housing.
7. Reconnect all the power cables, replace the power supply, and plug the
power supply cord into the wall.
