How to Remove a Power Supply Unit (PSU)

1.Identify the power supply by its position and designation or, if it has failed, by its steady on Service Action Required indicator. A power supply in a fault state has a lit amber-color Service Action Required indicator.

2.To unlock the power supply lever, squeeze together the two green release latches at the end of the lever. This action is accompanied by an click sound.

3.To disengage the power supply from its internal connector, rotate the lever to the left. The pawl at the hinged end of the lever engages the sidewall of the server and provides the pivot point for the leverage necessary to disengage the power supply. This action leaves the power supply extending partially from its slot.

Caution - Pinch point. When operating the lever, keep your fingers clear of the hinged end of the lever.

4.To remove the power supply, use two hands to slowly slide it completely out of the server.

5.Place the removed power supply on an anti-static mat.

How to Install a Power Supply Unit (PSU)

1.Ensure that the power supply lever is in its fully open position. To open the power supply lever, squeeze together the two green release latches at the end of the lever and rotate the lever to the left.

2.Align the power supply with its slot. Ensure that the connector end of the PSU is at the opening of the slot and that the open hinge on the front of the PSU is at the bottom and to the left.

3.Slide the power supply into the slot until it stops.

4.To install the power supply, rotate the lever to the right. The pawl at the hinged end of the lever engages the sidewall of the server and provides the pivot point for the leverage necessary to draw the power supply into the slot and engage the internal connector.

Caution - Pinch point. Keep your fingers clear of the backside of the lever.

5.Verify that the green Power OK indicator on the power supply indicator panel turns on steady and that the amber Service Action Required indicator is not lit. The Service Action Required indicator lights when the component is in a fault state.

How to verify the Power Supply is working properly

Login to the SP to Check Power Supply status.

-> show /SYS/PSx -l all

Note: The "x" represents the Power Supply number that was replaced

Sample:

-> show /SYS/PS0 -l all

/SYS/PS0
    Targets:
        PRSNT
        P_IN
        P_OUT
        STATE
        T_AMB
        V_12V
        V_12V_STBY
        V_IN

    Properties:
        type = Power Supply
        ipmi_name = PS0
        fru_description = A261_POWER_SUPPLY
        fru_manufacturer = Power-One, Inc.
        fru_part_number = 7081596
        fru_rev_level = 01
        fru_serial_number = 465776G+1410B20DT5
        fault_state = OK
        clear_fault_action = (none)

/SYS/PS0/P_IN
    Targets:

    Properties:
        type = Power Unit
        ipmi_name = PS0/P_IN
        class = Threshold Sensor
        value = 77.625 Watts
        upper_nonrecov_threshold = N/A
        upper_critical_threshold = N/A
        upper_noncritical_threshold = N/A
        lower_noncritical_threshold = N/A
        lower_critical_threshold = N/A
        lower_nonrecov_threshold = N/A
        alarm_status = cleared

.
/SYS/PS0/PRSNT
    Targets:

    Properties:
        type = Entity Presence
        ipmi_name = PS0/PRSNT
        class = Discrete Sensor
        value = Present
        alarm_status = cleared

Check ILOM event log to see if any error exist.

faultmgmtsp> fmadm faulty

Example

-> start /SP/faultmgmt/shell
Are you sure you want to start /SP/faultmgmt/shell (y/n)? y

faultmgmtsp> fmadm faulty
No faults found

-> show /SP/logs/event/list

Check OS FMA info if any errors exist.

Example

fmadm faulty -a
STATE RESOURCE / UUID
