Troubleshooting Power Supplies
Problem
l
System status indicator is amber.
l
Power supply fault indicator is amber.
Action
1.
Run the appropriate online diagnostics test. See "
Using Server Administrator Diagnostics
" in "Running the System Diagnostics."
2.
Identify the faulty power supply.
NOTE:
If the system is turned off for long periods of time (for weeks or months), the NVRAM may lose its system configuration information. This situation
is caused by a defective battery.
NOTE:
Some software may cause the system time to speed up or slow down. If the system seems to operate normally except for the time kept in the
System Setup program, the problem may be caused by software rather than by a defective battery.
NOTE:
The 1470-W power supplies require 200–240 V to operate. If they are plugged into 110-V electrical outlets, the power supplies will not power
up.
