Remove failed power supply

You remove a failed power supply so you can replace it with a new one. When you remove a power supply, you slide the part out of the shelf.

Before you begin

You have reviewed the details in the Recovery Guru to confirm that there is an issue with the power supply. Select Recheck from the Recovery Guru to ensure no other items must be addressed first.
You have checked that the amber Attention LED on the power supply is on, indicating that the power supply or its integrated fan has a fault.
You have an ESD wristband, or you have taken other antistatic precautions.

Unpack the new power supply, and set it on a level surface near the drive shelf.
Save all packing materials for use when returning the failed power supply.
Disconnect the power cables:
1. Open the power cord retainer, and then unplug the power cord from the power supply.
2. Unplug the power cord from the power source.
Locate the tab to the right of the power supply and press it towards the power supply unit.
Locate the handle on the front of the power supply.
Use the handle to slide the power supply straight out of the system.
Attention: When removing a power supply, always use two hands to support its weight.
