Power Supply Removal and Installation
Power supplies are housed in removable carriers to allow for easy insertion and
removal. The power supply is designed for hot swappable operation. If removing
and replacing the same power supply you must ensure that at least one (1) minute
has elapsed between removal and re-insertion. This is necessary to allow compo-
nents to cool to ambient temperatures.
Removing a Power Supply
To remove a power supply unit follow this procedure:
1.
Insert the carrier key and turn it to the left.
2.
With one hand press the ejection button on the front of the power supply.
3.
With the ejection button still pressed grasp the carrier handle and slowly pull
the power supply out of the Storage Array. Use both hands to support the
weight of the power supply.
Installing a Power Supply
To install a power supply unit follow this procedure:
1.
With the Storage Array in a rackmount, horizontal position, orient the power
supply carrier so that the LEDs are on the top and the ejection button is on
the bottom (left and right, respectively, for vertical, upright Array position).
2.
Insert the power supply carrier into either bay 7 or bay 8 of the Storage
Array (see Figure 5-1).
3.
Insert the carrier key and turn it to the left.
4.
Push the carrier into the bay until you feel the power supply engage the
backplane and the ejection button is fully protruded, then turn the key to the
right. If the button is not fully protruded, apply additional pressure to the
front of the device carrier until it is.
