This procedure applies only to 4U server models with non-hot-swap power supplies.

Statement 8

CAUTION
Never remove the cover on a power supply or any part that has the following label attached.

Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside any component that has this label attached. There are no serviceable parts inside these components. If you suspect a problem with one of these parts, contact a service technician.

To install a non-hot-swap power supply on 4U server models with non-hot-swap power supplies, complete the following steps.

  1. Read the safety information in Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. Touch the static-protective package that contains the non-hot-swap power supply to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the power supply from the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
  3. Turn off the server and all attached devices; then, disconnect all power cords and external cables.
  4. Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat, with the cover facing up.
    Attention
    Do not allow the server to fall over.
  5. Remove the side cover (see Removing the side cover).
  6. Remove the air baffle (see Removing the air baffle).
  7. Remove the heat sink (see Removing the microprocessor and heat sink).
  8. Position the power supply in the chassis so that the screw holes in the power supply are aligned with the corresponding holes in the rear of the chassis.
