Solving power supply problems
This section presents power supply troubleshooting scenarios.
Testing power supply
Before replacing the power supply unit (PSU), use the Built-In Self-Test (BIST) feature to learn if the power
supply still works.
NOTE:
Not all PSUs have the BIST functionality. Refer to the Rear panel components section of this
document to determine BIST availability for your workstation.
To test the power supply:
1.
Unplug the AC power.
2.
Unplug all power cables to the system boards.
3.
Plug in AC power and verify the following:
●
If the green BIST LED on the rear of the workstation is illuminated and the fan is spinning, the PSU
is functional.
●
If the green BIST LED is not illuminated or the fan is not spinning, replace the PSU.
See the Rear panel components section of this document to locate the BIST LED on your workstation.
