NOTICE: The power supplies are hot-pluggable. Remove and install only one power supply at a time in a system that is powered on. The system is in
the redundant mode when two power supplies are installed and both power supplies are connected to an AC power source. Operating the system with
only one power supply installed for extended periods of time can cause the system to overheat.
NOTE: After installing a power supply, allow several seconds for the system to recognize the power supply and to determine if it is working
properly. The power indicator turns green to signify that the power supply is functioning properly. See "Power Indicator Codes" in "Indicators,
Messages, and Codes."
