Figure 3-14. Removing/Replacing a Power Supply
Power Supply
The 6029TR-DTR has two 1200 watt hot-plug power supply modules to provide redundant
power for the system. If either of the two power supply modules fail, the other module will
take the full load and allow the system to continue operation without interruption.
The LED on the control panel for node A will flash slowly (about 4 seconds on and 4 off) and
remain flashing until the failed unit has been replaced. Replacement units can be ordered
directly from Supermicro (see contact information in the Preface).
Removing/Replacing the Power Supply
1. Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1.
2. Push the colored release tab to the side and pull the power module out with the handle
provided.
3. Replace the failed power supply module with the exact same model from Supermicro.
4. Carefully insert the new module into position in the chassis and push it in until fully
seated. You should see the LED on the rear of the module turn amber showing that
power (from the backup module) is present.
5. Reconnect the AC power cord to the new module..
