AC power supply replacement
CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord before removing the power supplies. Also, disconnect all power cords before servicing.
NOTE: The PSU slides into the slot smoothly. Do not force a PSU into a slot as this action may damage the PSU or the S4048T
ON chassis.
NOTE: If a PSU fails, you must replace the entire unit. There are no eld serviceable components in the PSU. To request a
hardware replacement, see Dell Support.
NOTE: If you use a single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. If you are only using one power supply, Dell EMC
recommends installing the power supply in the rst slot, PSU1, and installing a blank plate in the second slot, PSU2.
1 Disconnect the power cable from the PSU.
2 Use the grab handle to slide the PSU out of the power supply bay.
3 Use the grab handle on the replacement PSU to slide it into the power supply bay.
4 Attach the power cord to the replacement PSU.
NOTE: The system powers up when you connect the cables between the power supply and the power source.
