Summary

Failed Power Supply

The causes and resolutions refer to the Dell Modular Disk Storage Manager recovery guru. Launch Dell Modular Disk Storage Manager to diagnose and fix the recovery failure as follows:

Causes

A power supply has failed and must be replaced. The Recovery Guru Details area provides specific information you will need as you follow the recovery steps.

Caution: Possible loss of data accessibility. Do not remove a component when either (1) the Service action (removal) allowed (SAA) field in the Details area of this recovery procedure is NO, or (2) the SAA LED on the affected component is OFF (note that some products do not have SAA LEDs). Removing a component while its SAA LED is OFF may result in temporary loss of access to your data. Refer to the following Important Notes for more detail.

Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive components. Always use proper antistatic protection when handling components. Touching components without using a proper ground may damage the equipment.

Caution: Possible loss of data accessibility. The storage array does not have redundant power. The storage array continues to operate with the remaining power supply. However, failure of the remaining power supply results in a loss of access to the storage array, so correct this problem immediately.
