Chapter 2 Hardware Maintenance : Hot Swapping Power Supplies

Hot Swapping Power Supplies
This section describes how to hot swap the AC power supply in a P-7500 system. Hot swapping allows you to add or remove a power supply without powering down the system.
The P-7500 system accommodates up to four hot-swappable AC power supplies in bays at the rear of the unit. Each power supply provides up to 650W of power. Two installed power supplies meet the P-7500 requirements. The other installed power supplies provide redundancy, load sharing, and increased system availability. They can be removed without directly affecting P-7500 system operation.
This section contains the following topics:
Use this information in conjunction with the safety information contained herein and the safety guidelines listed in TIBCO Messaging Appliance P-7500 Hardware Installation.
If you have questions or need help, contact your TIBCO engineer.
Safety Precautions
For your safety, before hot swapping P-7500 power supplies, review all safety warnings in this section.
