NOTE: When two identical PSUs are installed, power supply redundancy (1+1 – with redundancy or 2+0 – without redundancy) is configured in system BIOS. In redundant mode, power is supplied to the system equally from both PSUs when Hot Spare is disabled. When Hot Spare is enabled, one of the PSUs will be put into standby when system utilization is low to maximize efficiency. NOTE: If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same maximum output power.

7 Using system diagnostics If you experience a problem with your system, run the system diagnostics before contacting Dell for technical assistance. The purpose of running system diagnostics is to test your system hardware without using additional equipment or risking data loss. If you are unable to fix the problem yourself, service and support personnel can use the diagnostics results to help you solve the problem.
2. Select Hardware Diagnostics → Run Hardware Diagnostics. The ePSA Pre-boot System Assessment window is displayed, listing all devices detected in the system. The diagnostics starts executing the tests on all the detected devices. System diagnostic controls Menu Description Configuration Displays the configuration and status information of all detected devices. Results Displays the results of all tests that are run. Systemhealth Provides the current overview of the system performance.
8 Jumpers and connectors This topic provides specific information about the jumpers. It also provides some basic information about jumpers and switches and describes the connectors on the various boards in the system. Jumpers on the system board help to disable the system and setup passwords. You must know the connectors on the system board to install components and cables correctly.
NOTE: If you assign a new system and/or setup password with the jumper on pins 2 and 4, the system disables the new password(s) the next time it boots. 5. Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn on the system, including any attached peripherals. 6. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet. 7. Remove the system cover. 8. Move the jumper on the system board jumper from pins 2 and 4 to pins 4 and 6. 9. Install the system cover.
