1. If you have unlatched the cable management arm, relatch it. For information about the cable management arm, see the
system's rack documentation at www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
2. Connect the power cable to the PSU, and plug the cable into a power outlet.
CAUTION:
When connecting the power cable to the PSU, secure the cable to the PSU with the strap.
NOTE:
When installing, hot swapping, or hot adding a new PSU, wait for 15 seconds for the system to recognize the
PSU and determine its status. The PSU redundancy may not occur until discovery is complete. Wait until the new PSU is
discovered and enabled before you remove the other PSU. The PSU status indicator turns green to signify that the PSU
is functioning properly.
