System Power Supply
Figure 4-11. Power Supply Removal
To remove a power supply, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the AC power cable from the electrical outlet, and then
disconnect the other end of the cable from the power supply.
2. Press the locking bar in the power supply handle to the left (or up
if the system is in rack-mount position) until the latch disengages
from the chassis (see Figure 4-11).
3. Rotate the handle outward (forcing the power supply partially out
of its bay) and pull the power supply the rest of the way out by the
handle.
When installing a power supply, make sure the handle is all the way out (at a
right angle to the back of the power supply). Slide the power supply almost all
the way into its bay, letting it extend out about a quarter-inch. Rotate the handle
back toward the power supply while fitting the two legs of the handle into the
cutouts in the chassis wall, at the same time pressing the power supply the
rest of the way into the bay. Then push the locking bar to the right (or down if
the system is in rack-mount position) until the latch snaps into place, securing
the power supply.
CAUTION: The power supply will not operate unless the handle is
snapped all the way into the securing position.
