Installing the power distribution board

About this task

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.

Steps

  1. Align the screw holes on the PDB with the screw holes on the PDB bracket.
  2. Install the three screws to secure the PDB to the bracket.
  3. Holding it by the handle, position the PDB bracket so that the two PDB edge connectors align with the connectors on the system board and the power pass-through board.
  4. Aligning the slot on the PDB bracket with the metal standoffs on the chassis wall, slide the PDB into the connectors until firmly seated.
    When firmly seated, the spring-loaded screw on the PDB bracket aligns with the screw hole on the power supply unit (PSU) cage.
  5. Tighten the spring-loaded screw to secure the PDB bracket to the PSU cage.
  6. Close the system.
  7. If applicable, place the system upright on a flat, stable surface and rotate the system feet outward.
  8. Reinstall the PSUs.
  9. If removed, reinstall the hard drives and server modules.
  10. Reconnect the enclosure to its electrical outlet and turn the enclosure on, including any attached peripherals.
  11. Turn on the server modules using the operating system commands or the CMC.
  12. If applicable, install the front bezel.
