Replacing the hot-swap power supply cage

This procedure applies only to the 5U server model with hot-swap power supplies.

To install the hot-swap power supply cage in the 5U server model with hot-swap power supplies, complete the following steps.

  1. Read the safety information in Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. Place the power-supply cage into the chassis and slide it toward the rear of the server until the retaining clips engage the top of the chassis, then install the four screws to secure the power-supply cage to the chassis.
