Replace a Power Supply

The appliance supports two power supplies, supplying hot pluggable power redundancy. The system distributes the power load across both power supplies to maximize efficiency. When a power supply is removed with the system powered on, the full power load is picked up by the remaining power supply.

Each power supply has a single bi-color LED to indicate power supply status, as described in the following table:
