Kindly need your support to know how to fix error: UEFI0060 which display the following message
Power required by the system exceeds the power supplied by the power supply units (PSUs)
The server displays this message when the power supply gets down.
Greetings all,
I am trying to fix a r710 server for a gentleman who is trying to start a Urgent care facility.
The unit he currently has will not power up at all when hitting the power button. Opening the case, I see, what I assume, is the 24 hour power LED by the CMOS reset jumper.
I've checked all the connections I could but documentation is vague at best regarding signal tracing.
I've looked at the push button on the control/VGA board. It seems fine. When using a DVM on the button contacts, it shows 3.5V and drops to 0 when button is pushed in (turn on command). From there, I would assume it would go to the motherboard, but I am not sure. I've unplugged the riser cards and disconnected the hard drives, I've removed the power supplies one at a time and even swapped the ports, one at a time as well. The power up solid green.
I am assuming here the control/VGA port card or the main/motherboard.
I am doing this for him pro-bono, so any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
Im finding for a command to set boot order via omconfig / omreport. Right now , we have to manually boot into CTRL+R to set the boot order. Would be really helpful to have the command to set this via omconfig / omreport. Do advise.

Hi,
I'm trying to understand what really needs to be done when updating Dell Hardware.
Comparing OME with the latest SUU iso update (SUU-WIN32_16.04.200.19.ISO) on an example m710HD we get the following pics. (This is against the same m710HD).
There are many updates not picked up by OME.
But if OME is the recommended tool for updates, then many updates are getting missed.
So, can someone pls explain what is happening and how to do comprehensive updates for our fleet of over 350 Dell servers? Is OME sufficient for the task?
Thx

Hi,
i have some servers, far from me, and I would like to know if these servers has iDRAC Enterprise witht ddicated port or not.
Can I check this info from a running server, maybe from OpenManage or I have to phisycally check?
Also, would be possible to configure the dedicated port from the OpenManage with no reboot ?
I have downloaded Repository Manager and created a new repository from the Dell iDRAC inventory of my PowerEdge R620. However, I don't see the power supply firmware listed in the Components of the Bundle.
My server has a Delta 495W Single PSU and I don't see it's firmware listed. My PSU is already having the latest firmware installed nevertheless. I was just curious as to why the PSU firmware wasn't being listed. Are power supply firmwares not included in the Dell online catalog because of possible issues with PSU firmware bricks on dual PSU setups?
Thanks.
R620 server is shutdown with below lifecycle log.
2016-04-19T09:59:13-0400 SYS1001 System is turning off.

Firmware versions,

Please let me know if further information is required.
Are there any known issue?
Hello!
I moving to a PowerEdge R710 with PERC 6/i controller running Windows Server 2012 R2. I am new to Dell servers and am having some difficulty accomplishing the following. The old server had a Promise FastTrak controller that had JBOD mode. For backups, we just used several SATA disks set up as JBOD and rotated them for offsite storage. We used a utility called HotSwap which facilitated "safely removing" the JBOD disk. No problems.
The PERC 6/i does not have JBOD mode. I can set up the backup disk as RAID 0, but how does one "safely remove" the RAID 0 disk? I disabled the RAID 0 disk in the Windows device manager and physically pulled it, but when I put a new physical disk in, Dell OpenManage Server Administrator will not make a new virtual disk unless I erase the cache, for which I am not sure what the ramification is. If I insert the first RAID 0 disk back in, it is treated as a foreign disk, but I can import it and it works fine.
I've looked through the options in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (v 8.2), but I don't really see anything like a "safely remove" for the virtual RAID 0 disk. There is "Delete...", but that gives a warning that all data will be lost.
Is there a way to "safely remove" a RAID 0 disk to shut it down properly and eliminate the cache warning?
Thanks for any help, and apologies if I have missed something obvious.
Just started my first r810.
Has 6 HDDs (0 1 2 3 4 5). Standard 146 SAS.
In RAID controller (PERC H700) I noticed only 4 HDDs are listed. Then I saw #4 #5 have no lights on. I switched some around and all are functional and the display infront detects when #4 or #5 are unplugged but the slots never light up.
Whats up? I don't think there's anything wrong, just not understanding something.
Hello - have a Poweredge T320 with a H710. We currently have 4 virtual RAID1 disks (8 physical disks) - the OS pair, two data pairs, and a new 3TB data pair we migrated data from the two older data pair drives to. So, we'd like to decommission the two middle virtual drives and remove those four physical hard drives for archive or later spare use down the road once the data on them becomes too stale to be useful.
I'd like to do this in the "recommended" fashion that leaves the data available on the drives. I presume that simply deleting the virtual disks in Dell Server Administrator will remove the config from the RAID card and let the drives show as either foreign or unconfigured. Ideally, I would like to keep them from having the config on the drive overwritten in case the new 3TB mirror fails in the next few weeks, I have a quick restore option to bring these online. Just in case. Paranoid, yes, but I never destroy data I don't have to...
So, the question is, will deleting the virtual disk in Server Administrator wipe the config on the drives or just put them in a foreign/unconfigured state where I can then remove them while the server is online. Just want to not do this the wrong way and create an unforseen issue. I think this should work right, but asking costs nothing so I figured asking won't hurt a bit...
I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 running Windows Server 2008 R2 and 6x 75GB 10K SAS drives. PERC 6/i controller running RAID 6 with 5 disks + 1 HS (6 total disks)
I have 6x 300GB 10K SAS drives ready to swap.
I'm reading all I can about hot swapping etc and what I can't find is any method to actually shut down the drives before pulling them. Supposed to be via Computer Manager -> Storage but not there?
Rebooted, Ctrl+R, into the BIOS controller, nothing there either.
So I have 2 options:
1) go for it, just pull a disk and put in a new one and let it rebuild. Repeat x5
2) shut down, switch disk, etc. I do not like to shut down a perfectly functional server...
Seems like #1 would better, but without a disk shutdown option I am unsure...
Then, there's the whole operation in general. Is it better to:
1) hot swap & rebuild
2) do a disk image backup, switch out all the drives in one shot, and restore?
Seems like #2 wold be better....but don't I still need to re-install the system software on the bare array?
I have a poweredge t310 server, x OS SBS 2008r, i run this server internally to hold network database. The network card appears to have stopped working. Initially the server will take an hour or more to load, because its unable to communicate via the network card. The last time, they simply switched it to the second Network Connection , that appears to be connected to the Motherboard. Now a couple years later its happening again. This time the second one is failing.
Can i simply add a network card? or what do i need to know to get the right one for this server?
Hi,
I got two used Poweredge R900 servers.
One works fine, the other one turns on, fans blow, no error message on the smalll display, but I wasn't able to see anything on the screen.
If I take out the disk drive, I get a E1812 error on the display, and when I put it back the error disappears.
Since they were delivered by UPS, something could be loose.
Any idea what? I tried to push everything into its place.
Thanks in advance!
Hi All!
I have a PE T410 (six 3.5" LFF hot-swap bays) which came with the archaic PERC 6i controller. I want to replace this controller with something newer like an Adaptec 6805 or a Dell H700/710 which both use SFF-8087 Mini-SAS connectors, however I'm struggling with the SAS cables.
I tried with some standard generic Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS cables (Foxconn) which for for SAS A but for SAS B causes an error message ("The storage SAS B cable is not connected, or is improperly connected."). Swapping the cables doesn't move the error, and the cables work fine in another server (HP) so I guess I need some special Dell cable to avoid the error.
Now, since Dell has gone to extreme lengths to make finding out the correct part numbers as diifcult as possible, my question to people here is if anyone knows what Dell SAS cables work correctly in the T410, and what the part numbers are.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I am looking into replacing a disk on my PowerEdge 2900. The disk is a "600GB, 15K RPM, Serial-Attached SCSI, 6Gbps, 3.5 inch, HotPlug Hard Drive", original part number W347K.
I reached out to my Dell sales rep, and provided them that information and asked for a quote . They sent me a quote for "Hard Drive,600G,SAS6-E,15K,3.5,Seagate,Eagle", part number 5XTFH. Looking into this part number, I'm seeing that it has what’s called “SED” or “Self-Encrypting Drive technology”. I don’t believe the server supports this kind of technology, and I am worried that it might not be compatible. Can any of you fine folks guide me as to if part number 5XTFH is compatible with my PowerEdge 2900?
Thank you!
Hi,
I'm bought The Poweredge 2970 with windows server 2003 64 ghz. I also received Windows 2008 standard.
I'm making a clean installation and when I tried to installing the 2008 is asking me for all the drivers and suppose it will also ask for the mass storage. I didn't received the drivers nor the tool ( open manager) to install the OS.
Does anybody knows how to get the proper drivers for the box. There are a LOT of driver for the 2970.
I'd appreciate your help giving me some kind of hope.
Thank you.
