6-6 Power Supply

The system includes a single 1400 watt power supply, which is auto-switching capa-

ble. Power must be removed from the system when replacing the power supply.

Power Supply Failure

If the power supply module fails, the system will shut down and you will need to

replace the module. Replacements can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see

contact information in the Preface).

As there is only one power supply module in the system, power must be com-

pletely removed from the server before removing and replacing the power supply

for whatever reason.

Removing/Replacing the Power Supply (Figure 6-6)

1. Power down the server and unplug the AC power cord.

2. Push the release tab on the front of the power supply.

3. Pull the power supply out using the attached handle.

4. Replace the failed power module with the same model (See Appendix C).

5. Push the new power supply module into the power bay until you hear a click.

6. Reconnect the AC power cord and depress the power button on the control

panel to restart the system.
