Power Supply Capacity exceeded PSU wattage

We have recently replaced the dual E5-2630 processors in our PowerEdge R620 with E5-2670 processors. Additionally we have installed 2 SSD drives to the server. We have a 495W PSU and whenever we boot the server we get "Power required exceeds psu wattage. Check psu and system configuration". We were able to get the server booting by pressing F1 and ignoring the message. We checked the power usage with the new processors and SSDs on load and it was well below 200W. 

I do understand that the server is attempting to perform a power inventory check while booting, however we cannot take down the server for hardware maintenance atleast for the next 6 months to replace the PSU with higher wattage. I wanted to know if it was safe to ignore this error till the next hardware maintenance window, provided we keep a strict check on the power usage. We also have limited access to the server physically which makes it difficult to make the PSU swap.
