Figure 53. Installing a power supply unit
Next steps
1. If you have unlatched the cable management arm, relatch it. For information about the cable management arm, see the
system’s rack documentation at https://www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
2. Connect the power cable to the PSU, and plug the cable into a power outlet.
NOTE:
For certain premium configurations with high power consumption, system PSU might stay with 2+0 mode only, 1+1
redundant mode is not available.
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.
