Step 4. Press the release lever until it is flush with the front of the server. You will hear it click as it locks
into position.
Step 5. If the operating system was stopped in step 1, reset the system to the EFI Boot Maintenance Menu,
to rescan the hard drives.
Step 6. If the operating system was stopped in step 1, use the EFI shell map command to verify that the
newly inserted drive has been correctly installed. Refer to Chapter 5 of this guide (Cable
Connections) and to the hp Integrity cx2600 Operation and Maintenance Guide for information
about connecting a console and using the EFI shell. (The hp Integrity cx2600 Operation and
Maintenance Guide is included on the CD provided with your system).
Hot-Swap Power Supply Units
The supported configuration of an hp Integrity cx2600 Server requires that two power supplies be installed.
During normal operations, the two power supplies share the load. Each provides power via a separate power
rail. A single power supply can provide all power needed for normal operations, but a second power supply is
installed to provide backup capability.
Hot-swap power supplies 1 and 2 are located at the rear of the chassis. The power supplies are identical and
interchangeable.
NOTE A hot-swap device does not require interaction with the operating system before the device is
removed from or installed into the server. If the second power supply is functioning correctly, a
power supply can be powered down and removed with no effect on server operations.
The power to the server (other power supply) does not have to be off to remove or replace a
hot-swap power supply.
