How to Replace Power Supply for PowerStore

This video will demonstrate the replacement procedure of Power Supply for the PowerStore.

This video shows how to replace a faulted power supply in a PowerStore base enclosure. Before you begin, make sure that you have read all safety precautions on handling replaceable units, such as using electrostatic discharge wristbands or gloves.

For more information, refer to the PowerStore Installation and Service Guide. First, we need to determine which power supply has faulted. To do this, log in to the PowerStore Manager and click Hardware.

Under Appliances, click the appliance that contains the faulted component. On the Details page for the appliance, click the Hardware card, and then click the Rear View tab.

Use the left navigation pane to drill down and locate the faulted component. You can also: hover over and click the component highlighted in the rear view enclosure image on screen.

The power supplies are installed in the top and bottom node, and the top power supply is installed upside-down to match the node. This procedure works for removing either power supply.

First, rotate the power cable retention bail away from the power cable. Now, remove the power cable from the power supply. Press and hold the orange release tab and grasp the power supply by its handle.

Then, remove the power supply by pulling it from the node. Now, install the replacement power supply. Align the power supply with the slots in the node.

Push the power supply into the node until it clicks into place. Next, connect the power cable to the power supply and secure the cord with the retention bail.

Finally, we need to verify the replacement. In PowerStore Manager, go to the Hardware card for the appliance. The status of the replacement component should now appear as Healthy.

If the status still appears as Faulted, wait a few minutes and refresh the PowerStore Manager screen. If the status does not change, ensure the component is seated correctly, or call your service provider.

You’ve just replaced a faulted power supply. For detailed instructions on replacing this or other components, refer to the PowerStore documentation at dell.com/powerstoredocs.
