Changing the Power Distributor
Server chassis above 2U require a power distributor. The power distributor provides
failover and power supply redundancy. In the unlikely event that you must change
the power distributor, do following:
Changing the Power Distributor
Power down the system, disconnect the power cords from the back of the power
supplies, lay the chassis on a flat surface, and open the chassis cover.
1. Remove all cable connections to the power supplies from the motherboard,
backplane, and other components. Also, remove both power supplies.
2. Locate the power distributor between the power supply and the fan row.
