Attention
This type of power supply is hot-swap only when two power supplies are installed for redundancy. If only one power supply is installed, you must power off the server first before removing the power supply.
The following tips describe the information that you must consider when you remove a power supply with dc input.
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.

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。

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

Watch the procedure
  • A video of this procedure is available at YouTube

  1. If the server is in a rack, pull back the cable management arm to gain access to the rear of the server and the power supply.
  2. Locate the failing power supply in the rear of your server.
    Note
    On each power supply, there are three status LEDs near the power cord connector. For information about the status LEDs, see Rear view LEDs.
  3. Disconnect the power cord from the failing hot-swap redundant power supply.
    Note
    If you are replacing two power supplies, do the power supply replacement 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 until the power output LED for the firstly replaced power supply is lit.
  4. Press the release tab toward the handle and carefully pull the handle at the same time to slide the failing hot-swap power supply out of the chassis.
