QuestionQ2

System maintenance

You must replace a failed power supply (PS) in a VSP E590.

What is the proper procedure?

  • A Check if the status of the PS is blocked, and if yes, then replace it directly.
  • B Use the Maintenance Utility for blocking the PS, then replace it.
  • C Use the Maintenance Utility for blocking the controller, then replace the PS.
  • D Use the MPC for blocking the PS, then replace it.
