“Hot
-
Swappable” Power Supply
In spite of regular performance of routine maintenance tasks, some computer systems can experience hardware failures. Fortunately, your
investment in a OSS Expansion system with a redundant power supply provides you with the ability to easily replace a power module in the
event of a failure.
The redundant power supply includes two hot-swappable modules that share the power load requirements during normal operations. Should
one module fail for any reason, the power load will be shifted to the other module and sound an audible alarm.
If a power supply fails, an alarm will sound to alert you of the problem. Press the black button on the status panel on the front of the unit to
stop the audible alert.
To replace a failed power supply, simply grab the handle, press down on the release lever at the top of the module, and pull. Replace the failed
module with a new one and turn on the power to the module using the power switch at the bottom of the module. The power load will again
be shared between these two modules.
In order to ensure the safety and efficiency of your expansion system, it is recommended that
you keep a spare power supply module on hand – just in case. Protect yourself, keep a spare.
