For systems that support redundant PSU, ensure
that both the PSUs are of the same type and have the same maximum
output power.
NOTE: The maximum output
power (shown in watts) is listed on the PSU label.
Steps
Slide the PSU into the system until the PSU is fully seated and the
release latch snaps into place.

hot swappable PSU
Next steps
If you have
unlatched the cable management arm, re-latch it. For information about
the cable management arm, see the system’s rack documentation at www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
Connect the
power cable to the PSU, and plug the cable into a power outlet.
CAUTION: When
connecting the power cable to the PSU, secure the cable to the PSU
with the strap.
NOTE: When installing, hot swapping, or
hot adding a new PSU, wait for 15 seconds for the system to recognize the PSU and determine
its status. The PSU redundancy may not occur until discovery is complete.
Wait until the new PSU is discovered and enabled before you remove
the other PSU. The PSU status indicator turns green to signify that
the PSU is functioning properly.
