I would also make sure the PIB is installed correctly, as well as seated correctly.    Orient PIB as shown and install on the PSU cage. [IMAGE]           Make sure PIB firmly install into 4 hooks.   [IMAGE]           Push PIB downward, make sure you can feel the clicks on both sides and the blue latch at upper corner is fully engaged.   [IMAGE]
Hi, We have an out of warranty Dell PowerEdge T430 that has been having some odd PSU issues over the past few months. The server has two hot swap 495W 80 Plus PSU's, each connected to separate APC UPS units. Our load average is 196W with a peak of 296W. The Redundancy Policy is set to Input Power Redundant and Primary PSU is PSU1. Power Factor Correction is disabled.  Yesterday I logged into iDRAC and noticed there was a warning about the PSU's and it listed PSU1 in a power lost state and no redundancy. I checked the APC UPS and the PSU and both had power and the both PSU's had green lights, so I simply unplugged the PSU for a few seconds and plugged it back in and all was well, redundancy was restored. However, throughout the rest of the day, PSU2 (yes, opposite one) kept putting the fan on full speed randomly and then back to normal. It was doing this as I was leaving the office yesterday. I came in this morning and it was still doing it, so I hot swapped PSU2 with a brand new spare PSU we had (try to keep spare parts since this server is out of warranty). So far, seems to be OK but it has only been in for 15-20 minutes and I did hear a fan's RPM go up twice so far, but not full speed and not sure which fan.  This reason I bring all this up is because this isn't the first time we've had this issue. In November, PSU2 lost input power/redundancy, and this happened again in December with PSU2. I recall the fan on PSU2 doing the same thing once I disconnected/reconnected the power cord, going to full RPM randomly even though everything checks out OK.  Is it possible we could have a larger issue going on, such as the back panel the PSU's are connecting to? The server is otherwise running perfectly fine, more of a noise annoyance and redundancy concern at the moment. Thanks in advance.
