C Flashing green and

D Flashing amber Indicates a problem with the PSU.
Condition
When hot-adding a PSU, the PSU handle flashes green five times at 4 Hz rate and
turns off. This indicates a PSU mismatch with respect to efficiency, feature set,
health status, and supported voltage.
NOTE: Ensure that both the PSUs are of the same capacity.
CAUTION: For AC PSUs, use only PSUs with the Extended Power
Performance (EPP) label on the back.
CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the PSU with
the flashing 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 power down the system.
CAUTION: AC PSUs support both 220 V and 110 V input voltages with
the exception of Titanium PSUs, which support only 220 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.
CAUTION: Combining AC and DC PSUs is not supported and triggers a
mismatch.

iDRAC configuration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make system administrators more productive and improve
the overall availability of Dell systems. iDRAC alerts administrators to system issues, helps them perform remote system
management, and reduces the need for physical access to the system.
Options to set up iDRAC IP address
You must configure the initial network settings based on your network infrastructure to enable the communication to and from
iDRAC. You can set up the IP address by using one of the following interfaces:

Description
The Dell OpenManage Server Administrator provides a comprehensive one-to-one systems management
solution for both local and remote servers and their storage controllers and Direct Attached Storage
(DAS).
For information about OpenManage documents, see Dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
Dell OpenManage Essentials is the newest one-to-many management console for managing Dell
PowerEdge servers and direct-attached storage as it provides a simple and easy interface for system
administrators to maximize the uptime and health of Dell systems.
For information about OpenManage documents, see Dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
iDRAC with Dell Lifecycle Controller allows administrators to deploy, update, monitor, and manage Dell
servers from any location without the use of agents in a one-to-one or one-to-many method. This out-ofband management allows the updates to be sent from Dell or appropriate third-party consoles directly to
iDRAC with Dell Lifecycle Controller on a Dell PowerEdge server, regardless of the operating system that
may or may not be running.
