ready to replace it.
Cautionary Note About Removing a Power Supply
You can remove a power supply and cooling module from an array without affecting array operation if the
second module is installed and functioning. However, to maintain proper air flow in the array,
a power supply
and cooling module must be replaced within five (5) minutes
of removing it. Otherwise, if possible, cleanly
shut down the array before removing the module, as described in
Shutting Down and Restarting an Array on page
