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

Following are the types of power supply units compatible to this server and notices to take during installation. The server supports a maximum of four power supply units.

  • 750-watt Platinum, input power 115 Vac / 230 Vac / 240 VDC
  • 750-watt Titanium, input power 230 Vac / 240 VDC
    Note
    When only two units of 750-watt Titanium power supply are installed, 240 VDC is not supported.
  • 1100-watt Platinum, input power 115 Vac / 230 Vac / 240 VDC
  • 1100-watt Titanium, input power 230 Vac / 240 VDC
  • 1800-watt Platinum, input power 230 Vac / 240 VDC
  • 1800-watt Titanium, input power 230 Vac / 240 VDC
  • 2600-watt Titanium, input power 230 Vac / 240 VDC
CAUTION
  • 240 V dc input (input range: 180-300 V dc) is supported in Chinese Mainland ONLY.

  • Power supply with 240 V dc input cannot support hot-plugging power cord function. Before removing the power supply with dc input, please turn off server or disconnect dc power sources at the breaker panel or by turning off the power source. Then, remove the power cord.

Procedure

  1. Make preparations for this task.
    1. Make sure the power supply unit to be installed is of the same wattage as the installed ones. Otherwise, complete the following steps:
      1. Turn off the server and peripheral devices.
      2. Disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
      3. Remove all the installed power supply units.
      4. Make sure all the power supply units to be installed are of the same wattage. Do not mix power supply units of different wattages in the same unit of server.
    2. If CMA has been installed, do the following:
      Figure 1. Adjusting CMA

      1. Press down the stop bracket and rotate it to the open position.
      2. Rotate the CMA out of the way to gain access to the power supply bay.
      Note
      Make sure the cables are secured to the CMA with cable straps.
    3. If you are installing the power supply into an empty bay, remove the power supply filler panel from the power supply bay.
    4. If more than one units are to be installed, start with the lowest available power supply bay.
  2. Grasp the handle on the rear of the power supply, and slide it into the power-supply bay until it clicks into place.
