Replacing a Power Supply Assembly
Shutting Down the Server
Caution Shut down the server before you make any repairs. Improper shutdown may
lead to loss of data or physical harm.
When replacing the power supply on an expansion array, shut down the Snap
Server to which the array is attached.
1To start the shutdown process, press the power
button on the front of the server.
The green power LED remains lit until the shutdown
process is complete. Do not disconnect the AC power
cord while the LED remains lit.
2After the power LED is off, disconnect the AC power
cord and all other cables from the back of the server.
3The server is heavy. With the help of an assistant, remove the server from the
rack to a clean surface with ample room to the front and rear.
Removing the Top Cover
1To release the cover, turn the screw at the rear of the server counterclockwise.
2The cover is seated tightly on the chassis. Standing in front of the server, press
down firmly on the cover with both hands, and push the cover loose with a short,
forceful thrust.
