Removing a DC Power Module

If you are installing a second power module, go to “The DC Power Module” on

page 3-8

You can remove a power module with the power on or off.

To remove a power module:

Remove the bottom front bezel.

Using a flat-tip screwdriver, loosen the 2 captive screws that fasten the

power module to the chassis until the power module disengages

(Figure 3-6)

Grasp the handle with both hands and pull the power module out of the

Versalar 15000.

You can remove an operational power module without affecting the operation

of the Versalar 15000. When you remove a power module, the LEDs on the

power module turn off, and the Versalar 15000 automatically redistributes the

load to the remaining power module.

Install a new power module (see “The DC Power Module” on page 3-8) or

install a power filler module (see “Removing and Installing a Power Filler

Plate” on page 3-7).

Caution:

To maintain proper cooling, never operate the Versalar 15000 with

an empty power module slot. If you are replacing a failed second power

module and you do not have a power supply filler module, leave the failed

power module installed until a replacement power module is available.

Warning:

The sides of the power module are hot when you remove the power

module from a Versalar 15000 that has been operating recently. Hold the

power module by the bottom.
