Prerequisites
- The replacement power module is ready.

Precaution
- Remove and insert a power module with even force. Excessive force may damage the appearance or connectors of the power module.
- The interval between removing and installing a power module must be shorter than 2 minutes.
- When installing a power module, do not place fingers over the power module. Otherwise, your fingers may be hurt.
Procedure

- Observe the power running/alarm
indicators to locate the faulty power module. Then remove the faulty
power module.
Press the power module latch, hold the power module handle, and remove the power module, as shown in Figure 2-6.
- Put the removed power module into an ESD bag.
- Take the replacement power module
out of its ESD bag and

- Connect the power module to the external power source using a power cable.
- Observe the power running/alarm
indicator to determine whether the installation is successful.
