PowerEdge: AMD platforms do not support Fault Tolerant Redundancy (FTR)
Summary: The PowerEdge AMD platforms do not support Fault Tolerant Redundancy (FTR)
Symptoms
During boot the system reports: UEFI0060 Power required by the system exceeds the power supplied by the Power Supply Units (PSUs)
Figure 1: LCC Logs showing UEFI0060 Error
Cause
When the system is using Dual PSUs and configured to A/B Grid Redundant, the FTB Available Power reports a negative value and FTRCapable is 0. AMD platforms do not support the FTR feature so the system will not use FTR data and reports the UEFI0060 error message.
The FTR feature is only supported on the Intel platform.

Resolution
There is no defect in the product and that the steps outlined in the article are a guide for troubleshooting.
Follow the below suggestions to help resolve this issue:
- Change to original configuration. (Removing any third party or non-dell parts)
- Use in non-redundant mode.
- Use a High Line 200V environment.
- Change to a higher watt PSU
Using the Enterprise Infrastructure Planning Tool (EIPT) to validate your configuration:
- EIPT can be found here: https://dell-eipt-landingpage.azurewebsites.net/
- Reviewing the PSU options in the PSU Guide and workload power details in EIPT help PowerEdge users fine-tune their PSU configuration.
- With the AMD platform, select Green - FR PSU configuration to make sure the system has enough Power Budget.

Power Supply Guide (Shown in Figure 2)
- Gray - PSU: Capacity options cannot support the platform configuration.
- White - FTR: PSU capacity options can support the platform configuration, but performance may be degraded after PSU redundancy loss.
- Green - FR: Minimum PSU capacity that can support the configuration with full performance during normal and fault operating conditions. Capacities greater than this capacity are also FR.
