Chapter 2 Installing and Removing Power Components
How to Install or Remove the Power Components
Steps
To remove a power module, follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the ESD connection
sockets on the front (PLIM) side of the chassis or a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2
On the front side of the chassis, pull the power tab on the bottom front of the power module out to the
off position.
Step 3
Use the screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws on the front of the power module.
Step 4
Grasp the power module handle and pull the power module halfway from the bay. Be sure to pull the
module by the handle only.
Caution
Take care when handling a power module that has recently been in use—it can be hot to the
touch.
Caution
An AC rectifier weighs 36 lbs (13.44 kg); a DC PEM weighs 38 lbs (17.24 kg). You should
use both hands when handling a power module.
Step 5
Use your free hand to support the power module while you slide the module completely from the bay,
then set the module safely aside.
What to Do Next
After performing this task, you may install a new power module, if needed (see the
), and replace any front cosmetic covers.
