Power Module Installation
The information in this section applies if you have purchased an N6700
mainframe without the power modules installed, or if you are adding a power
module to the mainframe.
Turn the mainframe off and disconnect the power cord before installing or
removing power modules. Observe all standard electrostatic discharge
precautions before handling electronic components.
Modules must be installed next to one another, starting with slot 1. Do not leave
any empty slots between modules, otherwise the power system will not operate.
Any remaining unused slots must have a filler module installed to ensure proper
cooling. Do not install filler modules between power modules.

Newer power modules can only be installed in N6700
mainframes with the latest firmware. Refer to the “Updates” section in
the front of this manual for more information. If your mainframe has the
latest firmware version, install the power module. If not, download and
install the latest version firmware from the web.
Remove the blower cover. Remove the screws from the top and sides of
the blower cover. Tilt the cover up and slide it out.
To install a power module, align the module over the pins and push it
down onto the mainframe connector.
