Power Indicator

Condition

Pattern

 

Not lit

Power is not connected.

Green

A valid power source is connected to the power supply and the power supply is operational.

Flashing amber

Indicates a problem with the power supply.

 

CAUTION: When correcting a power supply mismatch, replace only the power supply with

 

the flashing indicator. Swapping the opposite power supply to make a matched pair can

 

result in an error condition and unexpected system shutdown. To change from a High

 

Output configuration to a Low Output configuration or vice versa, you must power down

 

the system.

 

CAUTION: AC power supplies support both 220 V and 110 V input voltages. When two

 

identical power supplies receive different input voltages, they can output different

 

wattages, and trigger a mismatch.

 

CAUTION: If two power supplies are used, they must be of the same type and have the

 

same maximum output power.

Flashing green

When hot-adding a power supply, this indicates that the power supply is mismatched with the

 

other power supply (in terms of efficiency, feature set, health status, and supported voltage).

 

Replace the power supply that has the flashing indicator with a power supply that matches the

 

capacity of the other installed power supply.

Power Indicator Codes For Non-Redundant Power Supply

Press the self-diagnostic button to perform a quick health check on the non-redundant power supply of the system.

Diagnostic Indicator

Condition

Pattern

 

Not lit

Power is not connected or power supply is faulty.

T320 specifications

The Dell PowerEdge T320 is a versatile tower server designed to meet the needs of small to medium-sized businesses. It is engineered to handle a variety of workloads, from data storage and virtualization to basic web serving and productivity applications. With a blend of performance, reliability, and expandability, the T320 serves as a robust solution for organizations looking to enhance their IT infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the T320 is its use of Intel's Xeon E5-2400 series processors, which deliver outstanding computing power and efficiency. Supporting up to two processors, this tower server can be configured to handle demanding tasks effectively. The ability to support up to 768GB of DDR3 memory through its 12 DIMM slots ensures that the T320 can manage memory-intensive applications, making it well-suited for data analytics and virtualization.

Storage capacity is another significant advantage of the T320. It comes equipped with up to eight 3.5-inch drives, which can be configured for RAID to enhance data protection and performance. The server supports both SATA and SAS drives, allowing for a range of options when it comes to speed and capacity. Additionally, a built-in PERC controller facilitates RAID configuration and monitoring, providing an additional layer of security for critical data.

The T320's design focuses on scalability, featuring several expansion slots for PCIe add-in cards. This allows businesses to grow their server capabilities over time, adding components such as graphics cards or network interface cards as needed. Furthermore, the server includes integrated 1GB Ethernet ports, facilitating easy connectivity within a network.

In terms of management and monitoring, the Dell PowerEdge T320 features the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC), which provides out-of-band management capabilities. This allows IT administrators to remotely manage and monitor server health and performance, reducing the need for physical access and streamlining maintenance tasks.

Moreover, the T320 emphasizes energy efficiency. With Dell's Energy Smart technologies, the server is designed to minimize power consumption and heat production while maintaining high performance. This not only contributes to lower operational costs but also supports environmentally friendly practices.

Overall, the Dell PowerEdge T320 is an efficient and reliable tower server that provides businesses with the performance and flexibility needed to manage various workloads. Its robust features, combined with Dell's commitment to quality and service, make it a valuable asset for companies looking to improve their IT operations.
