Replacing a MAX5 hot-swap power supply
The following notes describe the type of power supply that the MAX5 supports
and other information that you must consider when you install a power supply:
v The server comes with one 675-watt hot-swap 12-volt output power supply. The
input voltage is 110 V ac or 220 V ac auto-sensing.
Note: You cannot mix 110 V ac and 220 V ac power supplies in the MAX5, it is
not supported.
v These power supplies are designed for parallel operation. In the event of a
power-supply failure, the redundant power supply continues to power the
system. The MAX5 supports a maximum of two power supplies, which is the
requirement for redundancy support.
To install a hot-swap power supply in the MAX5, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins "Safety" on page vii and "Installation
guidelines" on page 261.
2. Touch the static-protective package that contains the hot-swap power supply to
any unpainted metal surface on the MAX5; then, remove the power supply
from the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
3. If you are installing a hot-swap power supply into an empty bay, remove the
power-supply filler panel from the power-supply bay.
4. Grasp the handle on the rear of the power supply and slide the power supply
forward into the power-supply bay until it clicks. Make sure that the power
supply connects firmly into the power-supply connector.
5. Route the power cord through the cable retention clip on the rear of the server
so that it does not accidentally become disconnected.
6. Connect the power cord for the new power supply to the power-cord connector
on the power supply.
7. Connect the other end of the power cord to a properly grounded electrical
outlet.
8. Make sure that the ac power LED and the dc power LED on the power supply
are lit, indicating that the power supply is operating correctly. The two green
LEDs are to the right of the power-cord connector.
