Install a hot-swap power supply

Use this information to install a hot-swap power supply.

Read the installation Guidelines

ATTENTION: Static Sensitive Device Ground package before opening

The following tips describe the type of power supply that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install a power supply:

• The standard shipping has only one power supply installed in the server. For redundancy and hot-swap support, you must install an additional hot-swap power supply. Certain customized models might be shipped with two power supplies installed.

• Ensure that the devices that you are installing are supported. For a list of supported optional devices for the server, go to Lenovo ServerProven website.

Note

• Ensure that the two power supplies installed on the server have the same wattage.

• If you are replacing the existing power supply with a new power supply of different wattage, attach the power information label that comes with this option onto the existing label on the top cover near the power supply.

There are no serviceable parts inside these components. If you suspect a problem with one of these parts, contact a service technician.

S002

CAUTION

The power-control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.

DANGER

danger

Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables is hazardous.

To avoid a shock hazard:

• Connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical outlet/source.
• Connect any equipment that will be attached to this product to properly wired outlets/sources.
• When possible, use one hand only to connect or disconnect signal cables.
• Never turn on any equipment when there is evidence of fire, water, or structural damage.
• The device might have more than one power cord, to remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.

The following tips describe the information that you must consider when you install a power supply with dc input.

CAUTION

1. 240 V dc input (input range: 180-300 V dc) is ONLY supported in Chinese Mainland.

2. Power supplies with 240 V dc are not hot-swappable. To remove the power cord, ensure you have turned off the server or disconnected the dc power sources at the breaker panel.

3. In order for the ThinkSystem products to operate error free in both a DC or AC electrical environment, a TN-S earthing system which complies to 60364-1 IEC 2005 standard has to be present or installed.

在直流输入状态下，若电源供应器插座不支持热插拔功能，请务必不要对设备电源线进行热插拔。此操作可能导致设备损坏及数据丢失。因错误执行热插拔导致的设备故障或损坏，不属于保修范围。

NEVER CONNECT AND DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE AND EQUIPMENT WHILE YOUR EQUIPMENT IS POWERED ON WITH DC SUPPLY (hot-plugging). Otherwise you may damage the equipment and result in data loss, the damages and losses result from incorrect operation of the equipment will not be covered by the manufacturers’ warranty.

To install a hot-swap power supply, complete the following steps:

Watch the procedure

A video of this procedure is available at YouTube.

1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new power supply to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server. Then, take the power supply out of the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
2. If the server is in a rack, adjust the cable management arm (CMA) to gain access to the power supply bay.

   If you have installed the ThinkSystem 2U CMA Upgrade Kit for Toolless Slide Rail or ThinkSystem Toolless Slide Rail Kit with 2U CMA, do the following:
