Troubleshooting Your System

CAUTION:

If troubleshooting a PSU mismatch error, replace only the power

supply with the flashing indicator. Swapping the opposite power supply to create
a matched pair can result in an error condition and unexpected system shutdown.
To change from a High Output configuration to an Energy Smart configuration or
vice versa, you must power down the system.

2 Reseat the power supply by removing and reinstalling it. See "Power

Supplies."

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

status indicator turns green to signify that the power supply is functioning

properly.

If the problem persists, replace the faulty power supply with another power

supply of the same type.

3 If the problem persists, see "Getting Help."

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.

blank, FAN6 blank (in a system with a single processor), power supply

blank (in a system with a single power supply), heat sink blank (in single

processor configurations), or front or back filler panel.

• Ambient temperature is too high.
• External airflow is obstructed.
• Cables inside the system obstruct airflow.
• An individual cooling fan is removed or has failed. See "Troubleshooting a

Fan."
