4. Enter the System Setup program.
If the date and time are not correct in the System Setup program, replace the battery.
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only
perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or
as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing
that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety
instructions that are shipped with your product.
If the problem is not resolved by replacing the battery, see Getting help.
NOTE: Some software may cause the system time to speed up or slow down. If the system
seems to operate normally except for the time kept in the System Setup program, the problem
may be caused by software rather than by a defective battery.
Troubleshooting PSUs
1. Identify the faulty PSU by the PSU’s fault indicator. See Power and system board indicator codes.
CAUTION: At least one PSU must be installed for the system to operate. Operating the system
with only one PSU installed for extended period can cause the system to overheat.
2. Reseat the PSU by removing and reinstalling it.
NOTE: After installing a PSU, allow several seconds for the system to recognize the PSU and to
determine if it is working properly. The power indicator glows green to signify that the PSU is
functioning properly.
If the issue persists, replace the faulty PSU.
3. If all troubleshooting fails, see Getting help.
Troubleshooting system cooling issues
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only
perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as
directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is
not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions
that are shipped with your product.
Ensure that none of the following conditions exist:
• System cover, cooling shroud, drive blank, PSU blank, or front or back filler panel is removed.
• Ambient temperature is too high.
• External airflow is obstructed.
• Cables inside the system obstruct airflow.
• An individual cooling fan is removed or has failed.
