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 remove a fixed power supply, complete the following steps:

Note
  • If one fixed power supply is installed in the server, you must turn off the server before removing the power supply.
  • You must install the fan assembly before removing or installing the power supply.
  1. Read the safety information that begins in Safety and Installation guidelines.
    Attention
    Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the power on.
  2. If only one power supply is installed, turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords.
  3. Loosen 4 screws from the rear side of the server and pull the fixed power supply out of the server as the illustration showed.

  4. If you are instructed to return the power supply, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
