PowerEdge 2600 keeps switching itself off
Hello,
I have a Dell PowerEdge 2600 and for some reason it keeps switching itself off after a period of time. I am wondering if it does this automatically after a period of inactivity? I have checked the power options and it is set to always on, with it switching the monitor off after 30mins of inactivity only.
I have checked the BIOS and there is nothing there to suggest that it will switch the machine off after a period of inactivity as well. I am going to try and leave a small application running to see if that will make any difference in stopping it from switching off.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem that may be able to shed light on what it could be?
Hello,
Thanks for replying and apologies for the delay. I have checked the 2 batteries and their status indicators are fine. The status indicator on the machine is blue and constant, indicating that the system is fine as well.
How do I check the fan status and the temperature?

Hello, I'm having the same problem, what version of Windows server are you running, I've have 2008, there was a problem with Vista not waking up, may be there is a problem with 2008, thank you.I am running Windows Server 2003 (Small Business Server). I have checked the power settings and kept everything to always on - but to no avail. I have it connected to a UPS but that makes no difference whether it is connected to the UPS or not. I have changed it to a normal power supply and the results are still the same.
It is very strange. Some guidance on how to monitor temperature and fans as per the first reply would be welcomed, as I can then eliminate that as a possible cause (or the solution).
