Replacing a hot-swap dc power supply

Use this information to replace a hot-swap dc power supply.

The following notes describe the type of power supply that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install a power supply:

• Before you install an additional power supply or replace a power supply with one of a different wattage, you may use the Power Configurator utility to determine current system power consumption. For more information and to download the utility, go to https://support.lenovo.com/solutions/lnvo-pwrconf.
• The server comes with one hot-swap 12-volt output power supply that connects to power supply bay 1. The input voltage is -48 V dc or -60 V dc auto-sensing.
• Before you install a dc power supply in the server, you must remove all ac power supplies. Do not use both ac and dc power supplies in the same server. Install up to two dc power supplies or up to two ac power supplies, but not a combination.
• Power supply 1 is the default/primary power supply. If power supply 1 fails, you must replace the power supply with the same wattage immediately.
• You can order an optional power supply for redundancy.
• These power supplies are designed for parallel operation. In the event of a power-supply failure, the redundant power supply continues to power the system. The server supports a maximum of two power supplies.
• It is the customer's responsibility to supply the necessary power cable.
  To reduce the risk of electric shock or energy hazards:

  • Use a proper circuit breaker.
  • Use 4 mm² (10 AWG) at 90° C copper wire.
  • Torque the wiring-terminal screws to 0.50 ~ 0.60 newton-meters (4.43 ~ 5.31 inch-pounds).

  For more information, see Statement 34 below.
• If the power source requires ring terminals, you must use a crimping tool to install the ring terminals to the power cord wires. The ring terminals must be UL approved and must accommodate the wire that is described in the above-mentioned note.

Statement 29:

Important

Before you use the product, be sure to read the multilingual safety instructions at: Lenovo documentation Web site

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

Attention

Only trained service personnel other than Lenovo service technicians are authorized to install and remove the -48 volt dc power supply, and make the connections to and disconnections from the -48 volt dc power source. Lenovo service technicians are not certified or authorized to install or remove the -48 volt power cable. The customer is responsible for ensuring that only trained service personnel install or remove the -48 volt power cable.

1. Read the safety information that begins on Safety and Installation guidelines.
2. Touch the static-protective package that contains the 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 circuit breaker for the dc power source to which the new power supply will be connected. Disconnect the power cord from the dc power source.
4. Attach the dc power cable to the new power supply.

5. If you are installing a hot-swap power supply into an empty bay, remove the power-supply filler from the power-supply bay.
   Figure 2. Power supply installation
   
   
6. Grasp the handle on the rear of the power supply and slide the power supply forward into the power-supply bay until it clicks. Make sure that the power supply connects firmly into the power-supply connector.
7. Route the power cord through the handle and cable tie if any, so that it does not accidentally become unplugged.
8. Connect the other ends of the dc power cable to the dc power source. Cut the wires to the correct length, but do not cut them shorter than 150 mm (6 inch). If the power source requires ring terminals, you must use a crimping tool to install the ring terminals to the power cord wires. The ring terminals must be UL approved and must accommodate the wires that are described above. The minimum nominal thread diameter of a pillar or stud type of terminal must be 4 mm; for a screw type of terminal the diameter must be 5.0 mm.
9. Turn on the circuit breaker for the dc power source to which the new power supply is connected.
10. Make sure that the green power LEDs on the power supply are lit, indicating that the power supply is operating correctly.
