Installing power supplies

HPE Synergy supports several different types of HPE Synergy power supplies. For more information, see the HPE Synergy 12000 Frame Quick Specs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library (http://www.hpe.com/info/qs).

CAUTION: Mixing different types of power supplies in the same frame might:
  • Limit or disable some power supply features including support for power redundancy.

  • Cause the system to become unstable and might shut down.

To ensure access to all available features, all power supplies in the same frame should have the same output and efficiency ratings. Verify that all power supplies have the same part number and label color.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the power supply and the power supply blank to cool before touching them.
WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment, do not connect the power cord to the power supply until the power supply is installed.

NOTE:

When installed in the HPE Synergy 12000 Frame, the HPE 2900-3400W Hot Plug Platinum Power Supply only supports 230-240VAC input.

Procedure
  1. Remove the power supply blank, or unplug the power cord and remove the power supply from the frame.
  2. Remove the output connector cover from the new power supply.
