This document updates the power supply replacement procedure described in the
Installation and Troubleshooting Guides for the PowerEdge 6300 and 4300 systems.

power supply into or out of the system chassis.

To insert the new power supply, perform the following steps:
1. With the power supply handle in the open position, slide the power supply into
the chassis to the point where the power supply initially stops (see Figure 1).

2. Rotate the power supply handle to the closed position.
As you rotate the handle, pivot levers on the handle hinge engage into slots in the
chassis and push the power supply into the chassis. If the power supply does not
slide into the chassis, reposition the power supply and ensure that the power
supply handle is completely open before you try rotating the handle again.
3. With the power supply fully inserted into the chassis, push in on the handle until
the handle latches into place.
NOTE: The power supply will not function until the latch is engaged.
4. Connect the AC power cable to the power supply and route the cable through the
cable strain-relief clips on the power supply handle.
5. Connect the AC power cable to the power outlet.
