Step 3.  Press the release tab toward the handle and carefully pull the handle at the same time to slide the 
hot-swap power supply out of the chassis. 
Note: If your CMA kit obstructs in the way, slightly pull the power supply upwards when sliding the 
power supply out of the chassis.

After you finish
1.  Install a new power supply or install the power-supply filler to cover the power supply bay. See “Install a 
power supply unit” on page 294.
Important: To ensure proper cooling during normal server operation, both of the power supply bays 
must be occupied. This means that each bay must have a power supply installed; or one has a power 
supply installed and the other has a power supply filler installed.
2.  If you are instructed to return the defective component, follow all packaging instructions and use any 
packaging materials that are provided.
