You rarely need to remove and install a power supply. Because the power supply is located at the bottom of the Octane workstation and you do not have to open the chassis, it is easily removed. This chapter provides information on installing or removing a power supply.
The following topics are covered
Before removing the power supply, you must power off the Octane workstation.
Open the cover and push the power button to power off the Octane workstation. (Step A)
Unplug the power cable from the electrical socket. (Step B)
Press the monitor power switch to power off the monitor. (Step C)
