3 minute power supply replacement warning

Attention: You must replace the power supply within three minutes of removing the previous power supply. Loss of data access might occur as a result of excess heat if you do not immediately replace the power supply.
Important: When replacing a power supply in 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.

Location of power supplies

  1. Grip the power supply with both hands and align the resource with the slot.
  2. Using both hands, push the power supply into the slot until the handle mechanism stops the forward movement.
  3. Push the handle in and toward the outer edge of the enclosure until the release button clicks. This inserts the remaining portion of the power supply into the slot.
  4. Attach the power cable to the power supply.
