System Has Critical Issues
Hello everyone,
I am seeing Health Information on the IDRac interface of the PowerEdge R750XS rack server I recently built. The server is working fine, but I don't know what this error means.

Hi,
The picture was deleted because it contains critical private information.
Please avoid posting pictures with such information.
The "SYSTEM HAS CRITICAL ISSUES" message in the Dell iDRAC (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) health information typically indicates a hardware issue with the server. Here are some potential causes and steps to resolve this error:
1. Power Supply Unit (PSU) failure or mismatch[4]
- Check if all installed PSUs are working properly and are of the same model/wattage.
- Replace any faulty PSUs.
2. RAID controller or disk drive issues
- Check the RAID controller logs for errors related to disk drives or the RAID array.
- Ensure all disk drives are properly seated and connected.
- Replace any failed disk drives.
3. Memory (RAM) issues
- Run a memory test from the iDRAC or boot into the LifeCycle Controller to test the installed memory modules.
- Reseat or replace any faulty memory modules.
4. CPU or other hardware component failure
- Check the iDRAC System Event Log for specific error messages related to hardware components.
- Update any outdated firmware or drivers for components like CPUs, chipsets, etc.
To resolve the issue:
1. Check the iDRAC System Event Log for specific error messages that may provide more details on the cause[1][2]. Please post this error message using words instead of Pictures so that this can be found by other users.
2. Run hardware diagnostics from the iDRAC or boot into the LifeCycle Controller to identify the failing component[3].
3. If the issue persists after replacing faulty hardware, you may need to reset or update the iDRAC firmware to clear the error[1][2].
4. As a last resort, you can reset the iDRAC to factory defaults, which will clear any persistent errors but may require reconfiguring settings[1].
Regularly monitoring the iDRAC logs and promptly addressing hardware issues can help prevent system downtime and data loss[2][3][5].
