Removing and replacing a Flexible Slot power supply
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the power supply or power supply blank to
cool before touching it.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless all bays are
populated with either a component or a blank.
CAUTION: Mixing dierent types of power input modules in the same server 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 input modules in the same server should have the same
output and eiciency ratings. Verify that all power input modules have the same part number and label color.
