Running The Embedded System Diagnostics

The embedded system diagnostics program is run from the Dell Lifecycle Controller.

CAUTION: Use the embedded system diagnostics to test only your system. Using this program with other systems

may cause invalid results or error messages.

1. As the system boots, press <F11>.

2. Use the up and down arrow keys to select System Utilities → Launch Dell 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.

Running Embedded System Diagnostics From An External Media

1. Format the external resource media (USB flash drive or CDROM) to emulate a hard drive.

See the documentation that came with the resource media for instructions.

2. Configure the resource media to be a bootable device.

3. Create a directory for the system diagnostics on the resource media.

4. Copy the system diagnostics files into the directory.

To download the Dell diagnostics utility, go to dell.com/support.

5. Connect the resource media on your system.

6. As the system boots, press <F11>.

7. When prompted, select the media to perform a one-time boot.

If diagnostics does not start automatically after the diagnostic media is booted, enter psa at the command prompt.

Disabling A Forgotten Password

The server modules software security features include a system password and a setup password. The password jumper

enables these password features or disables them, and clears any password(s) currently in use.

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 came with the product.

1. Remove the server module from the enclosure.

2. Open the server module.

3. Remove the system board to gain access to the jumpers.

4. Relocate the jumper plug to disable the password feature.

5. Reinstall the system board.

6. Close the server module.

7. Install the server module in the enclosure.

When the server module is on, the power-on indicator is solid green. Allow the server module to finish booting.

The existing passwords are not disabled (erased) until the system boots with the password removed. However,

before you assign a new system and/or setup password, you must reinstall the password jumper.

NOTE: If you assign a new system and/or setup password with the jumper removed, the system disables the

new password(s) the next time it boots.

8. Remove the server module from the enclosure.

9. Open the server module.

10. Remove the system board to gain access to the jumpers.

11. Relocate the jumper plug to enable the password feature.

12. Reinstall the system board.

13. Close the server module.

14. Install the server module in the enclosure.

15. Assign a new system and/or setup password.

Environmental

NOTE: For additional information about environmental measurements for specific system configurations, see

dell.com/environmental_datasheets.

Storage temperature –40 °C to 65 °C (–40 °F to 149 °F) with a maximum

temperature gradation of 20 °C per hour.

Standard operating temperature Continuous operation: 10 °C to 35 °C at 10% to 80%

relative humidity (RH), with 26 °C max dew point. De-rate

maximum allowable dry bulb temperature at 1 °C per 300

m above 900 m (1 °F per 550 ft).

Expanded operating temperature

NOTE: When operating in the expanded temperature

range, system performance may be impacted.

NOTE: When operating in the expanded temperature

range, ambient temperature warnings may be

reported on the LCD and in the System Event Log.

≤ 10% of annual operating hours 5 °C to 40 °C at 5% to 85% RH with 26 °C dew point.

NOTE: Outside the standard operating temperature

(10 °C to 35 °C), the system can operate down to 5 °C

or up to 40 °C for a maximum of 10% of its annual

operating hours.

For temperatures between 35 °C and 40 °C, de-rate

maximum allowable dry bulb temperature by 1 °C per 175

m above 950 m (1 °F per 319 ft).

≤ 1% of annual operating hours –5 °C to 45 °C at 5% to 90% RH with 26 °C dew point.

NOTE: Outside the standard operating temperature

(10 °C to 35 °C), the system can operate down to –5

°C or up to 45 °C for a maximum of 1% of its annual

operating hours.

Environmental

For temperatures between 40 °C and 45 °C, de-rate

maximum allowable dry bulb temperature by 1 °C per 125

m above 950 m (1 °F per 228 ft).

Expanded operating temperature restriction

• Do not perform a cold startup below 5 °C.

• Maximum 95 W processor is supported.

• The following do not support the expanded

operating temperature range:

– PCIe SSDs

– LRDIMMs

– Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC)

H710/H710P cards (in dual-processor

configurations)

• When populating the server module slots in the

PowerEdge VRTX enclosure with only

PowerEdge M620 server modules:

– Install only 97 mm wide heat sink(s).

– Dual-processor server modules with

PERC H310 cards cannot be mixed with

single-processor server modules.

– If you install a server module with two

processors and a PERC H310 card in the

PowerEdge VRTX enclosure, all server

module slots in the enclosure must have

PowerEdge M620 server modules with

the same configuration (PowerEdge

M620 server modules with two

processors and a PERC H310 card).

However, vacant server module slots in

the enclosure can be installed with

server module blanks.

System Messages

LCD Status Messages

The LCD messages consist of brief text messages that refer to events recorded in the System Event Log (SEL). For

information on the SEL and configuring system management settings, see the systems management software

documentation.

Viewing LCD Messages

If a system error occurs, the LCD screen will turn amber. Press the Select button to view the list of errors or status

messages. Use the left and right buttons to highlight an error number, and press Select to view the error.

Removing LCD Messages

For faults associated with sensors, such as temperature, voltage, fans, and so on, the LCD message is automatically

removed when that sensor returns to a normal state. For other faults, you must take action to remove the message from

the display:

• Clear the SEL — You can perform this task remotely, but you will lose the event history for the system.

• Power cycle — Turn off the system and disconnect it from the electrical outlet; wait approximately 10 seconds,

reconnect the power cable, and restart the system.

System Error Messages

System messages appear on the monitor to notify you of a possible problem with the system. These messages refer to

events recorded in the System Event Log (SEL). For information on the SEL and configuring system management settings,

see the systems management software documentation.

Some messages are also displayed in abbreviated form on the system's LCD, if the system includes that feature.

NOTE: The LCD error messages listed here are displayed in the simple format. See Setup Menu to select the format

in which the messages are displayed.

NOTE: If you receive a system message not listed here, check the documentation for the application that was

running when the message was displayed or the operating system's documentation for an explanation of the

message and recommended action.

NOTE: In some messages, a particular system component is identified by name (“<name>”), component number

(“<number>”), or location (“bay”).
