Replacing the S3210R power supply

Use this procedure to replace the S3210R power supply.

To replace the S3210R power supply:

1. Shut down the system and unplug the AC power cords.
2. For a rack-mount setup, remove the server from the cabinet if necessary to access the server components:

   Caution: For safety purposes, get another person to assist you with moving the server.

   1. Prepare a clear area as a work surface for the server.
   2. Unplug all cables at the back of the server. Label all cables so you can easily reconnect them.
   3. Press the release clips on the rails to fully extend the rail.
   4. Lift the server off the rails and set the server on the work surface.
3. Remove the top cover.

   4. Remove the four screws holding the power supply to the rear panel of the chassis. See Item 5 in Removing and replacing the S3210R power supply. Make sure that you remove the screws holding the power supply to the chassis, not the screws outside of the power supply.
   5. Lower the power supply to the bottom of the chassis, and then lift the power supply out of the chassis (see Items 7 in Removing and replacing the S3210R power supply), avoiding the circuit card hold-down bracket (see Item 6 in Removing and replacing the S3210R power supply).
   6. Set the old power supply aside.
