For more information about safety guidelines, see the Dell Power Vault MD2460 enclosure owners manual at dell.com/support, you might need to replace a PSU.
If your system management software indicates a PSU failure or if the fault led starts blinking amber, the PSU is hot swappable, which means it can be replaced without powering off the enclosure.

If the enclosure is installed with cable management arms release the upper C MA from its lock position from the left side of the rear of the enclosure, press the release button and swing open the upper CMA.

With the other hand, ensure that the PSU remains level while removing it from the enclosure.

With the other hand, ensure that it's level and slide it into the enclosure. Push the orange tab to rotate the PSU handle upward and tighten the thumb screw to secure the PSU reconnect the power cable to the PSU and secure it with the strap.
