Dell DR715, T605 owner manual Troubleshooting System Cooling Problems

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.

4Ensure that the power supply is properly installed by removing and reinstalling it. See "Installing a Redundant Power Supply" on page 77.

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.

5If the problem persists, remove the faulty power supply. See "Removing a Redundant Power Supply" on page 76.

6Install a new power supply. See "Installing a Redundant Power Supply" on page 77.

If the problem persists, see "Getting Help" on page 205.
