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

Read the installation GuidelinesATTENTION: 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 near the power supply.

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

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

  1. If there is a power-supply-bay filler installed, remove it.
    Important
    To ensure proper cooling during normal server operation, both of the power supply bays must be occupied. This means that each bay must have a power supply installed; or one has a power supply installed and the other has a power-supply filler installed.
