Hot-swapping a power supply module
If all three hot-swap power supply modules are installed, you can replace a
failed module without turning the server off.
To replace a hot-swap power supply module:
1 Follow the static electricity precautions in “Preventing static electricity
discharge” on page 25.
2 Determine which power supply has failed by checking the indicator LEDs
or using your server management software.
3 Remove the bezel. (See “Removing the bezel” on page 27.)
4 Loosen the captive thumbscrew at the bottom of the failed power supply
module.
5 Press down on the tab at the top of the failed module and pull the module
out.
6 Pull the power supply module entirely out of the chassis.
