Diagnostics 4 If you experience a problem with your computer, run the ePSA diagnostics before contacting Dell for technical assistance. The purpose of running diagnostics is to test your computer's hardware without requiring 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. NOTE: Before proceeding download and install the latest BIOS version from support.dell.
Customers can test the health of the power system by pressing the test button. The button is lit by a signal in the power supply called Power_Good (PG). When the +3.3v, +5v, and +12v rails are up and within specification, the PG signal turns on, lighting the self-test LED. By removing the cable harness in units that do not pass this test, you can isolate the failure's cause to an attached device of the power supply.
Troubleshooting Your Computer 5 You can troubleshoot your computer using indicators like Diagnostic Lights, Beep Codes, and Error Messages during the operation of the computer. Diagnostic Power LED Codes The power LED states are shown in the following table. NOTE: The power LED can only serve as an indicator of the progress through the POST process. These LEDs do not indicate the problem that caused the POST routine to stop. Power LED Description OFF Power is off. LED is blank.
Blinking Amber Power LED Problem Description 3,4 The storage device may be faulty. 3,5 The memory may not be compatible. 3,6 The system board may be faulty. 3,7 The memory has been detected but of an invalid configuration. Beep Codes The beep pattern 1-3-2 (1 beep, then 3 beeps, then 2 beeps) indicates that the computer has encountered a memory problem. Occasionally, re-seating the memory modules may fix the beep code errors.
Message Description CAUTION - Hard Drive SELF MONITORING SYSTEM has reported that a parameter has exceeded its normal operating range. Dell recommends that you back up your data regularly. A parameter out of range may or may not indicate a potential hard drive problem S.M.A.R.T error or possible hard disk drive failure. Contact Dell and report the issue to a support technician.
