Replace a Power Supply
About this task
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.

Note
The system ships with two power supplies and you have the option to purchase a replacement power supply using the ordering part number 30527 WS-PSI-1100W-01.
Note
The system requires one power supply to operate normally. Remove and replace only one power supply at a time in a system that is powered on.Each power supply has a single bi-color LED to indicate power supply status, as
described in the following table:
Power supply condition | LED pattern |
---|---|
Output on and OK | Green |
No AC power to all power supplies | Off |
AC present or only 12VSB on (PS off) or PS in cold redundant state | 1Hz blinking green |
AC power cord unplugged or AC power lost. With a second PS in parallel still with AC input power | Amber |
Power supply warning events where PS continues to operate - high temp, high power, high current, slow fan | 1Hz blinking amber |
Power supply critical event causing a shutdown, failure, OCP, OVP, fan fail | Amber |
Power supply firmware updating | 2Hz blinking green |
