– Replace the power cable.
If the problem is not resolved, or if the power supply’s fault indicator is lit, see Obtaining Technical
Support and Customer Service on page 35.
Power supply and cooling modules are hot-swappable. The array can operate on a single power supply;
however both modules must be installed to ensure proper cooling. A single power supply and cooling
module can be removed from a powered-on array for a maximum of five minutes. Beyond that time, the
array may automatically shut down to prevent damage.
2. Reseat the power supply by removing and reinstalling it. See Removing a Power Supply and Cooling
Module on page 30.
Note: After installing a power supply, allow several seconds for the array to recognize the power supply
and to determine if it is working properly.
If the problem is not resolved, see Obtaining Technical Support and Customer Service on page 35.

Check for and correct any of the following situations:
• Empty drive bays (no drive or drive blank).
• Ambient temperature is too high. See the Technical Specifications for the array in the Installation and
Setup Guide.
• External airflow is obstructed.
• The power supply and cooling module is removed or has failed. See Troubleshooting Power Supply and
Cooling Modules on page 36.
If the problem is not resolved, see Obtaining Technical Support and Customer Service on page 35.
