Troubleshooting Your System

Action

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You

should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered
by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the
product.

1 Run the appropriate online diagnostics test (see "Running the System

Diagnostics" on page 163).

2 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system

from the electrical outlet.

3 Locate the faulty power supply.

The power supply's fault indicator is lit (see "Power Indicator Codes" on
page 17).

NOTICE:

You can hot-plug the redundant power supplies. One power supply must

be installed for the system to operate. The system is in the redundant mode when
two power supplies are installed. Remove and install only one power supply at a
time in a system that is powered on. Operating the system with only one power
supply installed for extended periods of time can cause the system to overheat.

4 Ensure that the power supply is properly installed by removing and

reinstalling it (see "Installing a Redundant Power Supply" on page 75).

NOTE:

After installing a power supply, allow several seconds for the system

to recognize the power supply and to determine if it is working properly. The
power indicator turns green to signify that the power supply is functioning
properly (see "Power Indicator Codes" on page 17).

5 If the problem persists, remove the faulty power supply (see "Removing a

Redundant Power Supply" on page 73).

6 Install a new power supply (see "Installing a Redundant Power Supply" on

page 75).

If the problem persists, see "Getting Help" on page 175.
