Questions: Power Supply Redundancy Lost

  • What is the specific failure mode of PSU 2 (internal fault, AC input loss, overtemp)?
  • Is the power cable from PDU B to PSU 2 properly connected?
  • Can PSU 1 handle the full server load alone (520W < 800W rated)?
  • Is the server under warranty for PSU replacement?
  • Are there spare PSUs available in the datacenter?
  • Should the workload be drained from this node preemptively?
  • What is the risk of PSU 1 also failing (age, environmental conditions)?
  • Has the PSU been reseated to rule out a contact issue?
  • Are other servers of the same age/model showing PSU degradation?
  • What is the lead time for a replacement PSU?
