Problem

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.
The power supply's fault indicator is lit. See "
Power Indicator Codes
" in "Indicators, Messages, and Codes."
3.
Ensure that the power supply is properly installed by removing and reinstalling it. See "
Power Supplies
" in "Installing System Components."
NOTE:
If the system is turned off for long periods of time (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.
NOTICE:
The power supplies are hot-pluggable. Remove and install only one power supply at a time in a system that is powered on. The system is in
the redundant mode when two power supplies are installed.
