Redundant hot-plug power supply option 
  WARNING:  To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, the 
installation of power supplies should be performed only by individuals who are qualified 
in servicing server equipment and trained to deal with products capable of producing 
hazardous energy levels.  
  WARNING:  To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, observe the thermal 
labels on each power supply or module.    
  WARNING:  To reduce the risk of injury from electric shock hazards, do not open power 
supplies. Refer all maintenance, upgrades, and servicing to qualified personnel.    
  CAUTION:  Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure that you are properly 
grounded (earthed) before beginning any installation procedure. 
To install the component: 
1. Identify the redundant power supply bay (Rear panel components on page 8). 
  IMPORTANT:  Power supplies for the model shown are hot-pluggable. When using the redundant power 
supply option, it is not necessary to power down the server before removing or installing a power supply.  
						

							 
Hardware options installation 44  2.
