About this task
CAUTIONTo remove all electrical current from the server, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source. The power control button on the server does not turn off the electrical current supplied to the server. The server also might have more than one power cord.
CAUTIONNever remove the cover on a power supply or any part that has the following label attached.
Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside any component that has this label attached. These components do not contain any serviceable parts. If you suspect a problem with one of these parts, replace the power supply.
Important Always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server. For more information, see Protecting against ESD damage.
Procedure
- Touch the static-protective package that contains the power supply to any unpainted metal surface on the server.
- Remove the power supply from the package and place the power supply on a static-protective surface.
- If you are installing a power supply into an empty bay, remove the power-supply filler panel from the power-supply bay.
- Grasp the handle on the back of the power supply and slide the power supply into the power-supply bay until it clicks. Make sure that the power supply connects firmly into the power supply connector. See the following figure.

- Connect the power cord for the new power supply to the power-cord connector on the power supply.
- Connect the other end of the power cord to a properly grounded electrical outlet.
- Make sure that both the AC LED and the DC LED on the power supply light up.
Both LEDs light up when the power supply is operating correctly.
