Dell EMC PowerEdge R540 Installation and Service Manual

Removing a DC power supply unit

Prerequisites

NOTE For equipment using –(48–60) V DC power supply units (PSUs), a qualified electrician must perform all connections to DC power and to safety grounds. Do not attempt connecting to DC power or installing grounds yourself. All electrical wiring must comply with applicable local or national codes and practices. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow all safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION The system needs one PSU for normal operation. On power-redundant systems, remove and replace only one PSU at a time in a system that is powered on.
  1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
  2. Disconnect the power wires from the power source and the connector from the PSU you intend to remove.
  3. Disconnect the safety ground wire.
  4. Unlatch and lift the optional cable management arm if it interferes with PSU removal. For information about the cable management arm, see the system’s rack documentation at www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals.

Steps

Press the release latch and slide the PSU out of the system by using the PSU handle.

Next steps

Install the DC PSU.
