2.2 Single Power Supply Module Population
In single power module configurations, server management firmware requires that the power
supply module be populated in the top power module slot. The non-operating slot must have
the power supply blank installed.

Figure 14. Power Supply Blank
Configuring a single power supply module in the bottom location will cause the server
management firmware and BIOS to generate a system error during POST and the error will be
reported to the System Event Log (SEL).
2.3 Handle and Retention Mechanism
Each power supply module includes a handle for module insertion to or removal from the
module enclosure. Each module has a simple retention mechanism to hold the power module
in place once it is inserted. This mechanism will withstand the specified platform mechanical
shock and vibration requirements. The tab on the retention mechanism is colored
green
to
indicate it is a hot-swap touch point. The latch mechanism is designed to prevent insertion or
removal of the module with the power cord plugged in. This will aid the hot-swapping procedure.
2.4 Hot-swap Support
Hot-swapping a power supply module is the process of extracting and re-inserting a power
supply module from an operating power system. During this process the output voltages shall
remain within specified limits. Up to two power supply modules may be on a single AC line.
The power supply module can be hot-swapped by the method listed below.
Extraction: on removal, the power cord is unplugged first, and then the power module is
removed. This can be done in standby mode or power-on mode.
Insertion: The module is inserted first, and then the power cord is plugged in. If powered off, the
system and the power supply will power on into standby mode or power-on mode.
