3.9 Power Supply
510P-M
The 510P-M has a single 500W power supply, which is auto-switching capable. This enables
it to automatically sense and operate with a 100V to 240V input voltage.
Power Supply Failure
If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace the unit.
Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see contact information in the
Preface).

1. Release the retention screws that secure the chassis to the rack, then grasp the two
handles on either side and pull the system straight out until it locks (you will hear a

3. Disconnect the power cables that connect the power supply to the motherboard and the
backplane.
4. Remove the two screws on the rear and one screw under the power supply, which
secure the power supply to the chassis. You can then pull the unit straight out of the
chassis.
Installing a New Power Supply
Replace the failed power supply with another identical power supply module (exact same
model, p/n PWS-505P-1H).
1. Carefully insert the new module into position in the chassis and secure it with the two
screws you removed previously.
2. Reconnect the AC power cord.
3. Replace the chassis top cover and push the server back into the rack.
4. Finish by pressing the power button on the control panel to power on the server.
