Hello,
We have a T320 with the stock non-redundant 350W PSU.
Until recently, we had 6 x 1TB drives in the Hot Swap bays and a Perc H310 PCI-E RAID controller.
We swapped the H310 for a H710P controller (much quicker!) and added 2 x 4TB drives in the 2 open hot swap bays. Now, when rebooting the message:
"Alert! Power required exceeds PSU wattage. Check PSU and system configuration.
Alert! Continuing system boot accepts risk that system may power down without warning
Strike the F1 key to continue. F2 to run the system setup program"
If I remove one of the 4TB drives, I can boot without problems.
Any suggestions? I am surprised that Dell have shipped a system with 8 hot-swap drive bays but not enough power to use them.
Thanks in advance,
Jerry.
