The server contains four power supplies (PS0-PS3). The power supplies are designated PS0, PS1, PS2 and PS3, with PS0 residing in the bottom slot and PS3 residing in the top slot.
How to Remove a Power Supply
Power supplies are hot-pluggable. That is, the server does not need to be powered off to remove or replace a power supply. However, the two power supply configuration is the minimum configuration for the server (not recommended). The server cannot operate on one power supply.
1. Locate the power supply that you need to remove.
If the power supply is in a fault state, the Amber Service Action Required LED is on.
2. To unlock the power supply, firmly squeeze both ends of the release handle.
The power supply release handle is located at the bottom of the power supply. The handle clicks when the locking mechanism is released.
3. Pull the release handle out and to the right until the handle is fully extended.
This action removes the pawl from the locking slot.
4. Use the handle to pull the unit partially out of the slot.
Pull the unit out far enough to grab it with your hands.
5. Close the release handle by moving it to the left until it locks.
6. To remove the power supply, slowly slide it out of the slot with one hand while supporting it with the other hand.
Caution - Airflow and temperature-related issues. Power supply slots contain an air vane that lowers when a power supply is removed from its slot. This device maintains proper airflow and cooling within the server.
How to Install a Power Supply
1. Ensure that the release handle on the power supply is in its fully open position.
The handle should extended away from the power supply.
2. Position the power supply at the opening with the LEDs to the left and the release handle at the bottom.
Correct positioning ensures that the connector on the power supply is aligned with the connector on the internal backplane of the server.
3. Slide the power supply into the opening until it stops.
Note - In this position, the power supply is not flush with the face of the server, and the connectors on the power supply are not engaged with the connectors on the internal midplane. Do not attempt to force the power supply into the server any farther.
4. Ensure that the pawl on the end of the handle is aligned with the opening on the side of the power supply slot.
5. To engage and set the power supply connector with the connector on the internal backplane, push the end of the release handle to the left.
Caution - Pinch point. When operating the lever, keep your fingers clear of the back side of the lever and the lever hinges.
This action draws the power supply into the slot and engages the connector on the power supply with the connectors on the internal backplane.
6. Continue to push the release handle until the handle locks into place under the bottom edge of the power supply. This action produces a click when the lock engages. In this position, the power supply cannot be slid out of the server unless the release handle is unlocked and lifted first.
How to verify the Power Supply working properly
Login to SP to Check Power Supply status.
-> show /SYS/PSx -l all
Note: The "x" represents the Power Supply number to be replaced
Sample:
-> show /SYS/PS0 -l all
/SYS/PS0
Properties:
type = Power Supply
ipmi_name = PS0
fru_name = A239 Power Supply
fru_manufacturer = 10465 ASTEC INTERNATIONAL LTD SHEN ZHEN CITY CN
fru_part_number = 300-2159-05
fru_serial_number = 476856F+1113CC003A
fault_state = OK
clear_fault_action = (none)
/SYS/PS0/P_IN
Properties:
type = Power Unit
ipmi_name = PS0/P_IN
class = Threshold Sensor
value = 190.000 Watts
upper_nonrecov_threshold = N/A
upper_critical_threshold = N/A
upper_noncritical_threshold = N/A
lower_noncritical_threshold = N/A
lower_critical_threshold = N/A
lower_nonrecov_threshold = N/A
alarm_status = cleared
.
.
.
/SYS/PS0/PRSNT
Properties:
type = Entity Presence
ipmi_name = PS0/PRSNT
class = Discrete Sensor
value = Present
alarm_status = cleared
Check ILOM event log to see if any error existed.
-> show /SP/faultmgmt
example
/SP/faultmgmt
Properties:
-> show faulty
Target | Property | Value
-----------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------------
-> show /SP/logs/event/list
Check OS FMA info if any errors existed
Example
fmadm faulty -a
STATE RESOURCE / UUID
-------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
If fault existed, refer to the following Document to clear the fault:
