Learn how to remove a power supply with the system power
turned on.
If
your system is managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC), use the HMC to remove a power supply.
For instructions, see Removing a part by using the Hardware Management Console.
If
your system is not managed by an HMC,
complete the following steps to remove a power supply from the system
while the system power is turned on.
Important: You must
have a functioning power supply in the system to use the following
steps.
- Complete the prerequisite tasks.
For instructions, see Before
you begin.
- Open the front rack door.
- Use the service indicator light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) to help identify the part. For instructions, see Identifying a part.
- Attach the wrist strap.
Attention: - Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware
to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging your hardware.
- When using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures.
A wrist strap is for static control. It does not increase or decrease
your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical
equipment.
- If you do not have a wrist strap, just prior to removing the product
from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an
unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
- Disconnect the power cable (A) from
the front of the power supply as shown in Figure 1.
- Press down on the locking latch (B) as
shown in Figure 1.
