		system is in good health.

The indicator blinks amber:

•When the system is turned on.

•When the system is in standby.

•If any error condition exists. For example, a failed fan, PSU, or a drive.

Check the System Event Log or system messages for the speci€c issue. For more information about error messages, see the Dell Event and Error Messages Reference Guide at Dell.com/openmanagemanuals > OpenManage software.

The POST process is interrupted without any video output due to invalid memory con€gurations. See the Getting help section.

Drive indicator	The indicator turns solid amber if
	there is a drive error.

•Check the System Event Log to determine if the drive has an error.

•Run the appropriate Online Diagnostics test. Restart the system and run embedded diagnostics (ePSA).

•If the drives are con€gured in a RAID array, restart the system, and enter the host adapter con€guration utility program.

Electrical indicator The indicator turns solid amber if the system experiences an electrical error (for example, voltage out of range, or a failed power supply unit (PSU) or voltage regulator).

Check the System Event Log or system messages for the speci€c issue. If it is due to a problem with the PSU, check the LED on the PSU. Reseat the PSU.

If the problem persists, see the Getting help section.

Temperature	The indicator turns solid amber if the
indicator	system experiences a thermal error
	(for example, the ambient
	temperature is out of range or there is
	a fan failure).

Memory indicator The indicator turns solid amber if a memory error occurs.

Ensure that none of the following conditions exist:

•A cooling fan has been removed or has failed.

•System cover, air shroud, memory module blank, or back €ller bracket is removed.

•Ambient temperature is too high.

•External airflow is obstructed.

If the problem persists, see the Getting help section.

Check the System Event Log or system messages for the location of the failed memory. Reseat the memory module.

If the problem persists, see the Getting help section.

PCIe indicator	The indicator turns solid amber if a
	PCIe card experiences an error.

Restart the system. Update any required drivers for the PCIe card. Reinstall the card.

If the problem persists, see the Getting help section.

NOTE: For more information about the supported PCIe cards, see the Expansion card installation guidelines section.

Blinking green		When the €rmware of the PSU is being updated, the PSU handle blinks green.
			CAUTION: Do not disconnect the power cord or unplug the PSU when updating firmware. If
			firmware update is interrupted, the PSUs do not function.
Blinking green and turns off		When hot-plugging a PSU, the PSU handle blinks green €ve times at a rate of 4 Hz and turns off. This
		indicates a PSU mismatch with respect to e†ciency, feature set, health status, or supported voltage.

20Installation 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 configuration to a low output configuration or vice versa, you must turn off 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 different input voltages, they can output different 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.
