  1. Turn OFF subject dc power source(s) and equipment(s) that are attached to this product.
  2. Install the power supply unit(s) into the system housing.
  3. Attach dc power cord(s) to the product.
    • Ensure correct polarity of -48 V dc connections: RTN is + and -Vin (typical -48 V) dc is -. Earth ground should be connected very well.
  4. Connect dc power cord(s) to subject power source(s).
  5. Turn ON all the power source(s).
  1. Disconnect or turn off the subject dc power source(s) (at the breaker panel) before removing the power supply unit(s).

240 V dc warning statement

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.

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.
Attention

Read Installation Guidelines and Safety inspection checklist to ensure that you work safely.

Procedure

  1. Disconnect both ends of the power cord and keep it in an ESD-safe place.
    • For AC power supply units, disconnect both ends of the power cord and keep it in an ESD-safe place.

    • For 240 V DC power supply units, turn off the server, and then, disconnect both ends of the power cord and keep it in an ESD-safe place.

    • For –48V DC power supply units:

      1. Turn off the server and disconnect the power cords from the electrical outlet.

      2. Use a slotted screwdriver to loosen the captive screws on the power supply terminal block.

      3. Disconnect the power cords from the power supply unit, make the wire terminal insulated, and keep them in an ESD-safe place.

    Note
    If you are replacing more than one power supply units, replace them one by one to ensure that the power supply to the server is not interrupted. Do not disconnect the power cord from the secondly replaced power supply unit until the LED(s) on the firstly replaced power supply unit are lit green. For the location of the power-supply-unit LEDs, refer to Power supply LEDs.
  2. Remove the power supply unit.
    Note
    PSU with a release tab is a hot-swap PSU. The color of the release tab does not affect the serviceability of the PSU.
