indicates a PSU mismatch with respect to eciency, feature set, health status, or supported voltage.
20 Installation and Service Manual
Dell EMC PowerEdge T440 overview
Power indicator codes Condition
CAUTION: If two PSUs are installed, both the PSUs must have the same type of label; for
example, Extended Power Performance (EPP) label. Mixing PSUs from previous generations of
PowerEdge servers is not supported, even if the PSUs have the same power rating. This results
in a PSU mismatch condition or failure to turn the system on.
CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the PSU with the blinking indicator.
Swapping the PSU to make a matched pair can result in an error condition and unexpected
system shutdown. To change from a high output conguration to a low output conguration or
vice versa, you must turn o the system.
CAUTION: AC PSUs support both 240 V and 120 V input voltages with the exception of Titanium
PSUs, which support only 240 V. When two identical PSUs receive dierent input voltages, they
can output dierent wattages, and trigger a mismatch.
CAUTION: If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same type and have the same maximum
output power.
Locating the Service Tag of your system
You can identify your system using the unique Express Service Code and Service Tag. Pull out the information tag in front of the system to
view the Express Service Code and Service Tag. Alternatively, the information may be on a sticker on the chassis of the system. The mini
Enterprise Service Tag (EST) is found on the back of the system. This information is used by Dell to route support calls to the appropriate
personnel.

specications
NOTE: Outside the standard operating temperature (10°C to
35°C), the system can operate continuously in temperatures as low
as 5°C and as high as 40°C.
For temperatures between 35°C to 40°C, de-rate maximum allowable
temperature by 1°C per 175 m above 950 m (1°F per 319 ft).
NOTE: Outside the standard operating temperature (10°C to
35°C), the system can operate down to –5°C or up to 45°C for a
maximum of 1% of its annual operating hours.
For temperatures between 40°C and 45°C, de-rate maximum allowable
temperature by 1°C per 125 m above 950 m (1°F per 228 ft).
NOTE: When operating in the expanded temperature range, system performance may be impacted.
NOTE: When operating in the expanded temperature range, ambient temperature warnings may be reported in the System Event
Log.
