Question 1
Q1A field engineer is onsite to replace a failed hot-swappable Power Supply Unit (PSU) in a DS224C disk shelf that is part of a production AFF A250 system. The system must remain online during the procedure. After physically identifying the failed PSU by its amber fault LED, what is the correct next step to ensure a safe and non-disruptive replacement?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
DS224C PSUs are fully redundant and hot-swappable. The correct procedure is to disconnect the power source from the failed unit, allow a brief period for it to power down completely, and then physically remove it. The redundant PSU will maintain power to the shelf. Placing the node in maintenance mode or taking the shelf offline is unnecessary and would cause an outage.
