Power indicator codes Condition
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.
iDRAC Direct LED indicator codes
The iDRAC Direct LED indicator lights up to indicate that the port is connected and is being used as a part of the iDRAC
subsystem.
iDRAC Direct LED indicator is located below the iDRAC Direct port on the right control panel. You can configure iDRAC Direct
using a USB to micro USB (type AB) cable, which you can connect to your laptop or tablet. The following table describes iDRAC
Direct activity when the iDRAC Direct port is active:

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.
Dell Embedded System Diagnostics
NOTE:
The Dell Embedded System Diagnostics is also known as Enhanced Pre-boot System Assessment (ePSA)
diagnostics.
The Embedded System Diagnostics provides a set of options for particular device groups or devices allowing you to:
● Run tests automatically or in an interactive mode
● Repeat tests
● Display or save test results
● Run thorough tests to introduce additional test options to provide extra information about the failed device(s)
● View status messages that inform you if tests are completed successfully
● View error messages that inform you of problems encountered during testing
Running the Embedded System Diagnostics from Boot Manager
Run the Embedded System Diagnostics (ePSA) if your system does not boot.
Steps
1. When the system is booting, press F11.
2. Use the up arrow and down arrow keys to select System Utilities > Launch Diagnostics.
3. Alternatively, when the system is booting, press F10, 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.
