Can memory cause a PSU E1629 error?
I have a Dell PowerEdge T410 that has only had a ram upgrade from 8GB to 32GB. Could that cause a LCD error "E1629 Power Required > PSU wattage. Check PSU and Config."? I'm not sure how soon the error started appearing after the ram upgraded but it may have been a while. Is there a place to config the power supply or something else I'm missing? The rest of the hardware (hard drives, cpu's, etc) is stock. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Brian

Sorry, I misspoke. I upgraded from 12GB to 32GB of ram. The power supplies (redundant) are 580W and both have green lights on the back indicating they are on and operational. Just fyi in case it helps, the processors (2) are Xeon E5620 2.4Ghz and three are 3 15k sas 6Gpbs hotplug hard drives on the PERC6i raid card. Let me know if you need any further info. Thanks!

What cards do you have installed in the Expansion Slots?

Bkimball,
Yes it can, it is due to the hardware exceeding the voltage ability of the power supply. What wattage power supply is installed? Also do you have redundant or non redundant power supplies. Also what amount of memory is installed?
