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.

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

Note
  1. If only one hot-swap power supply is installed in the server, you must turn off the server before removing the power supply.
  2. You must install the fan cage assembly before removing or installing the power supply.
  1. Disconnect the power cord from the connector on the back of the power supply that you are removing.
  2. Press the release latch on the hot-swap power supply and pull it out from the server.
