thermal damage.
Power supply configuration
CAUTION: All power supplies installed in the server must have the same output power
capacity to operate in redundant mode. Verify that all power supplies have the same part
number and label color. When the system detects mismatched power supplies, the system
displays POST messages, does not power on the new power supply, and remains in non-
redundant mode.

server equipment and trained to deal with products capable of producing hazardous energy
levels.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, observe the thermal labels
on each power supply or module.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from electric shock hazards, do not open power
supplies. Refer all maintenance, upgrades, and servicing to qualified personnel.
