Complete this task to remove the power supply from an enclosure, either when the system is powered off or powered on.
DANGER
Attention: You must
have a replacement resource unpacked and ready to insert into the expansion
enclosure before you remove the existing power supply. The power supply must
be replaced within three minutes to prevent possible loss of access
to data. If you do not have a resource ready for immediate replacement, do
not continue with these instructions.
Before you remove the power supply, the error indicator on the resource must be lit, unless the power supply is no longer receiving power.
Removing
and replacing a power supply might result in the following effects:
- Overheating has the potential to shut down the storage unit.
- Access to data is lost if both power supplies are faulty or missing.
- If the second power supply fails and the first power supply is not present in the enclosure, the enclosure loses power and you will lose access to all data.
- If you are replacing the power supply in the server enclosure and the second power supply fails, the server enclosure and all attached expansion enclosures lose power and you will lose access to all data within those enclosures.
Important: When removing a power supply from an enclosure, care should
be taken to ensure that all resources from a particular server enclosure or
expansion enclosure are reinstalled into the same physical enclosure and in
the same location inside that enclosure.
The power supplies are located on the right and left sides of the rear of the enclosure.
These images show a power supply removal procedure.
You must immediately insert the replacement power supply into the
server or expansion enclosure.
