Replace the power strip with a known functional power strip to be sure it is not faulty. 5. Have a qualified electrician check the line voltage to be sure it meets the required specifications. 6. Be sure the proper circuit breaker is in the On position. 7. If Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping or Enclosure Power Limit is enabled on supported servers, be sure there is sufficient power allocation to support the server.
