Installing or Replacing the Power Supply
Installing or Replacing the Power Supply
Your Netfinity server is shipped with a 350-watt power supply that provides
redundant power through the use of two internal power modules. If your server
load does not exceed 175 watts, and a problem occurs with one of the power
modules in the power supply, the other module takes over the load. For power
loads above 175 watts, you can install a second, optional, power supply to provide
redundant power for the server. The second power supply contains one 175-watt
power module. With the optional second power supply installed, if a problem
occurs with any of the power modules, the remaining two power modules supply
the needed 350 watts of power.
The LEDs on the back of each power supply indicate the status of each of the
power modules. If an LED is not on, there is a problem with the power supply
module, and the power supply must be replaced.
To install or remove the optional second power supply, see the instructions that
come with the option.
To replace the 350-watt power supply, contact an IBM service technician to
have the system serviced.
If you want to install or remove any other options, do so now. Otherwise, go to
“Completing the Installation” on page 76.
