How to Install HPE 850W Power Supply

• Power down the server and disconnect it from all power sources. This ensures a safe replacement process and protects both you and the equipment.
• Identify the slot designated for the plug-in power supply module. If you operate a redundant PSU configuration, be aware of the primary and secondary modules and follow your server’s maintenance procedures.
• Release the existing PSU by using the appropriate latch or release mechanism. Carefully slide the current module out of its slot without forcing it.
• Align the new HPE 850W Power Supply with the slot guides and gently slide it in until it seats firmly. Ensure the module is fully engaged and latched into place.
• Reconnect the system power and power cables, then restore power to the server. Monitor the server status indicators to confirm proper recognition of the new PSU.
• Verify operation in the system BIOS or management interface. Check for any warning LEDs or messages related to the PSU, and confirm that the 850 W unit is providing stable power under load.
• If installing in a redundant configuration, perform a post-installation power-on test with both power supplies active to ensure balanced load distribution and proper hot-swap functionality.
