Removing a Power Supply
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not
covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with
the product.
CAUTION: The System requires at least one power supply to operate normally.
1
Recommended to turn off the system, including any attached
peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.
2
Disconnect the power cable from the power source and the power
supply.
NOTE: The following table lists the maximum supported configuration where
power supply redundancy is guaranteed.
NOTE:
Configurations higher than indicated in the table may change the power
supply mode to non-redundant. In non-redundant mode if the power requirement
exceeds the installed system power capacity, the BIOS will throttle the
processors. Also, if Processor Power Capping is enabled, then processor throttling
occurs on configurations that exceed the cap value.
NOTE: Both the power supplies are swappable, and they can support hot swap in
any condition if the system has power throttling feature.
