Installing a power supply

Prerequisites

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. If applicable, remove the power supply blank.
  2. Slide the new power supply into the enclosure until the power supply is fully seated and the release latch snaps into place.
  3. Connect the power cable to the power supply and plug the cable into a power outlet.
    1. In systems without the wheel assembly installed, secure the power cable with the strap.
    2. In systems with the wheel assembly installed, route the power cable from the power supply through the power cable retention bracket, by sliding it into one of the slots on the bracket.
    NOTE: When installing, hot-swapping, or hot-adding a new power supply, allow several seconds for the system to recognize the power supply and determine its status. The power supply status indicator turns green to indicate that the power supply is functioning properly.
