Note: These instructions assume that the BladeCenter unit is connected to power.
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines"
on page 29.
2. Remove the top or bottom bezel as needed to access the power module to be
removed (see "Removing a bezel" on page 31).
3. Open the power-module handle using one of the following procedures:
v For a power module in one of the upper power-module bays, push the inner
handle release to the right; then, pull the handle up to the open position.
v For a power module in one of the lower power-module bays, push the inner
handle release to the left; then, pull the handle down to the open position.
The power module moves out of the bay approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch).
4. Use the handle to pull the module out of the bay. Within 1 minute, install
either another identical power module or a filler into the module bay.
5. If you are replacing a 2900W power module with a new one, remove the fan
pack for installation on the new 2900W power module (see "Removing and
replacing a fan pack" on page 39).
Note: Do not attempt to remove the fan pack from a 2980W high-efficiency
power module. The fan pack on a 2980W high-efficiency power module is not a
replaceable component.
6. If you are instructed to return the power module, follow all packaging
instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to
you.
