Owners Manual

Installing A Blade

1. If you are installing a new blade, remove the plastic cover from the I/O connector(s) and save for future use.

2. Orient the blade so that the blade handle is on the left side of the blade.

CAUTION: If you are installing a full-height blade in bays 3 or 4 or a half-height blade in bays 11 or 12, rotate the LCD

module to the horizontal storage position to prevent accidental damage to the LCD screen.

To install a full-height blade or a half-height blade in bays 1 through 8, align the guide rail on the upper edge of the blade so that the rail

fits between the plastic guides on the enclosure.

4. To install a half-height blade in one of the eight lower bays (bays 9 through 16), align the edge of the blade with the guide rail on the

floor of the M1000e enclosure.

5. Slide the blade into the enclosure until the handle engages and locks the blade in place.

Power Supply Modules

The Dell PowerEdge M1000e enclosure supports up to six hot-swappable power supply modules, accessible from the enclosure back

panel.

NOTE: The power supply modules have internal fans that provide thermal cooling to these modules. A power supply

module must be replaced if an internal fan failure occurs.

The CMC module controls power management for the system. You can program the CMC to configure the power budget, redundancy,

and dynamic power of the entire enclosure (chassis, servers, I/O modules, iKVM, CMC, and power supplies). The power management

service optimizes power consumption and re-allocates power to different modules based on real-time demand. For more information, see

the CMC User's Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.

NOTE:

The wattage of a power supply module is listed on its regulatory label.

Power Supply Blanks

If the M1000e enclosure is operated with only three power supplies, power supply blanks must be installed in the three unoccupied power

supply bays (4 through 6) to maintain proper cooling airflow in the enclosure.

AC Power Supply Modules

NOTE:

A 2700 W power supply module requires 110 V to 240 V input from an AC power source. If a power supply module

is plugged into a 110 V electrical outlet, the power supply operates at 1350 W, if you select the Allow 110 VAC Operation

check box in the CMC Power Configuration screen.

NOTE: A 3000 W power supply module requires 200 V to 240 V input from an AC power source.

NOTE: PDU inlet cords for this system may be too thick to fit in the wire guides installed in the rack vertical rails. If this

is the case, remove the wire guides by removing the attachment screw securing each guide. Route the PDU inlet cords

along the vertical rails, securing them with tie wraps or strips.

Removing An AC Power Supply

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and

simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and

support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow

the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.

NOTE: The power supply modules are hot-swappable. Remove and replace only one power supply module at a time in a

system that is turned on.

1. Release the retention clip on the power cable and disconnect the power cable from the power supply module.

2. Press down on the power supply module release button on the handle.

3. Rotate the power supply module handle down to eject the power supply module.

4. Slide the power supply module out of the enclosure.
