Steps
Pull the blank out of the system.
CAUTION: To ensure proper system cooling, the PSU blank must be installed in the second PSU bay in a
non-redundant configuration. Remove the PSU blank only if you are installing a second PSU.
NOTE: You must install a power supply blank in a unused slot to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
certification of the system. The blank also keeps dust and dirt out of the system and aids in proper cooling and airflow inside
the system.
