Installing a redundant hot-plug power supply

CAUTION:

All power supplies installed in the server must have the same output power capacity. Verify that all power supplies have the same part number and label color. The system becomes unstable and might shut down if it detects different power supplies.

Procedure
  1. Release the cable management arm to access the rear panel.
  2. Remove the blank.
    WARNING:

    To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the power supply or power supply blank to cool before touching it.
