Learn how to replace a power supply or power-supply fan
in a 5802 or 5877 expansion unit
if you removed a failing part or removed the assembly as part of another
service action, and want to replace the power-supply assembly with
the power turned on.
If your system
is managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC), use the HMC to replace a power
supply. For instructions, see Exchanging a part by using the Hardware Management Console.
Determine if you are
able to perform this procedure concurrently
Attention: Two
power supplies must be present in the expansion unit. If one power
supply fails, the expansion unit continues to operate.
Before
installing or reinstalling a power supply, inspect the signal connector
pins to ensure that the pins are not bent or damaged.
Attention: Bent pins damage the midplane receptacle. Be careful
not to touch or damage the signal connector pins.
If
your system is not managed by an HMC, complete
the following steps to replace the power supply in an expansion unit
or system while the system power is turned on:
- If you are replacing a power supply or power-supply fan
because of a failure, remove the failing part. For instructions, see Removing a power supply or fan from a 5802 or 5877 expansion unit with the power turned on.
- Complete the prerequisite tasks.
For instructions, see Before
you begin.
- Open the front rack door.
- Attach the wrist strap.
Attention: - Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware
to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging your hardware.
- When using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures.
A wrist strap is for static control. It does not increase or decrease
your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical
equipment.
- If you do not have a wrist strap, just prior to removing the product
from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an
unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
- Optional: If you
must replace a failing power-supply fan, complete the following steps:
- Align the new fan with the opening in the power-supply
assembly.
- Press the fan (A) into its connector in the assembly
as shown in Figure 1.
- Tighten the thumbscrew (D) as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Replacing a fan
- To replace the power supply,
with the locking handle (A) in the open position, push the
power supply into the expansion unit as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Replacing a power supply
- Close the locking handle (A) until the power supply
locks into position.
- Reconnect the power cable (A) to the front of the
power supply, and then slide the cable retention bracket (B) to
the closed position to secure the cable as shown in Figure 3. By
moving the bracket to the closed position, you turn on the power supply.

the front of an expansion unit
- Note the state of the green ac power in (A) and
offline converter assembly (OCA) power (B) light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) shown in Figure 4,
and do one of the following actions, as applicable:
- If the LEDs indicate that the power supply is operating normally,
that is, that the ac power in LED (A) is on solid and the OCA
power (B) LED is on solid or flashing, continue to the next
step.
- If not, remove the power supply from the expansion unit and repeat
the procedure starting with step 6. If, after repeating
the procedure, the power supply is not operating normally, contact
your service provider.

OCA power LEDs
Note: If you replaced a power-supply fan as part of this procedure,
note the state of the fan fault LED
(B) as shown in
Figure 5. If the LED is off, indicating
that both fans are operating normally, continue to the next step.
If the LED is flashing or on solid, remove the power-supply assembly
from the expansion unit and repeat the procedure starting with step
5. If, after repeating
the procedure, the power-supply fan is not operating normally, contact
your service provider.
- Verify the installed part. For instructions,
see Verifying
the installed part.
- Close the front rack door.
Continue with any other service actions you want to perform.
