CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered
by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the

Operating the system with only one power supply installed for extended periods of
time without a power-supply blank installed in the PS2 power-supply bay can
cause the system to overheat.
