Figure 3-16. Removing a Power Supply
Power Supply
The server includes a 1600W redundant power supply consisting of two power modules. Each
has an auto-switching capability, which enables it to automatically sense and operate with a
100V to 240V input voltage.
If either of the power supply modules fail, the other module will support the full load and allow
the system to continue operation without interruption. The PWR Fail LED will illuminate and
remain on until the failed unit has been replaced. Replace with the same model. Replacement
units can be ordered directly from Supermicro.
Replacing the Power Supply
1. Unplug the AC power cord from the failed power supply module.
2. Push in the locking tab at the back of the module to release it.
3. Pull the unit straight out of the chassis.
4. Carefully insert the new unit into position in the chassis, pushing it in until it clicks.
5. Reconnect the power cord.
