Removing a Power Supply

To remove a power supply from the SSA, follow these steps:

  1. Before handling a power supply, put on the antistatic wrist strap and attach it to the ground receptacle on the front of the SSA.
    Refer to the instructions in the anti-static wrist strap package. See SSA Ground Receptacle for the location of the ground receptacle.

  3. Remove the zip tie, if present, that secures the associated power cord to the SSA.
  4. Unplug the associated power cord from the AC inlet.
  5. Unscrew the captive screws to release the power supply from the SSA.
  6. Remove the power supply by grasping the handle and pulling it straight out of the SSA.
  7. If you are not immediately installing another power supply, fasten a coverplate over the empty power supply bay.
Caution

Caution

If you plan to operate the chassis with only one power supply, the power supply must be installed in the left power slot labeled PS1 and the coverplate must be in place in the right power slot to contain EMI radiation and ensure proper air circulation.

Precaución: Si desea trabajar sólo con una fuente de poder, no olvide colocar la tapa en el compartimiento de la fuente de poder que haya eliminado, para reducir la interferencia electromagnética y para asegurar una buena ventilación.
