Removal and replacement procedures 36
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from electric shock hazards, do not open power
supplies. Refer all maintenance, upgrades, and servicing to qualified personnel.
CAUTION: Do not run the server with one AC power supply and one DC power supply
installed.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure that you
are properly grounded (earthed) before beginning any installation procedure.
To replace the component:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment, do not connect
the power cord to the power supply until the power supply is installed.
1. Slide the power supply into the power supply bay until the release/lock lever clicks, securing the
power supply.
2. Connect the power cord to the power supply.
3. Tighten the two retaining screws on either side of the power cord connector.
4. Route the power cord:
o If the cable management arm has a left-hand swing, route the power cord through the cable
management arm.
o If the cable management arm has a right-hand swing, remove the cable management arm or
convert it for left-hand swing. For removal instructions, see "Cable management arm with right-
hand swing (on page 30)." For conversion instructions, see the instructions that ship with the 2U
Quick Deploy Rail System.
5. Connect the power cord to the PDU.
6. Be sure that the power supply LED is green ("Rear panel LEDs and buttons" on page 91).
7. Be sure that the front panel external health LED is green ("Front panel LEDs and buttons" on page
89).
Media drive or blank
To remove the component:
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless
all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
