Open Manage Server Administrator for my T710 Server is reporting intermittent loss of communication with power supply 2.
I read on another post to install the following firmware update: http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER00523274M/1/Power_Firmware_YRWVK_WN32_M1.01.09_A01.EXE
I wanted to verify that the firmware update was applicable to my server. The problem is when I go to check the drivers and download page for my service tag the 1100 watt Emerson power supplies aren‘t listed.
According to my original configuration I have: Y613G 2 POWER SUPPLY, 1100W, REDUNDANT, EMERSON
