Identify the failed power supply using the LEDs located on the Power Supply/Cooling
module and also the LCD panel on the front of the array
To remove the power supply
Disconnect any power cables from the module.
Squeeze together the module latches to release the handle and rotate the handle
downwards. This action will disengage the module from the chassis.
Carefully slide the module from the slot.
Store the module where it will be protected from electrostatic discharge. Do not stack
modules
To install the new power supply module
Slide new power supply into the chassis.
Squeeze together the module latches to release the handle and rotate the handle
downwards.
Push the module completely into the slot, simultaneously rotating the handle upwardsto close it and seat the module,
Reconnect the power cable and turn on the power supply.
Check that the new power supply LEDs are both on and that the power supply fan status is
