Replace a power supply unit

If either of the two power supply units (PSU) fails, the other unit takes the full load and the system can continue operation without interruption. The Power Supply icon on the control panel flashes until the failed unit is replaced.

The power supply modules have a hot-swap capability; you can replace the failed module without powering down the system. The redundant feature keeps the appliance online while the failed hot-swap module is replaced.

  1. Push the release tab on the rear of the PSU, as shown in the following figure.

  3. Replace the failed PSU with another PSU.
  4. Push the new PSU into the power bay until you hear a click.
