2. Plug another device into the grounded power outlet to be sure the outlet works. Also, be sure the power
source meets applicable standards.
3. Replace the power cord with a known functional power cord to be sure it is not faulty.
4. Replace the power strip with a known functional power strip to be sure it is not faulty.
5. Have a qualified electrician check the line voltage to be sure it meets the required specifications.
6. Be sure the proper circuit breaker is in the On position.
7. If Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping or Enclosure Power Limit is enabled on supported servers, be sure
there is sufficient power allocation to support the server. For more information, see the following
