Faulty PSU - but its still working !?!

Hello

We have a power supply in an x4100 (x86) and it seems to be faulty but it is still working!?! (this box only has one PSU). We are getting Orange flashing warning light on the front of the box and the LED labelled “rear PSu” is solid orange ...We don't seem to have had any syslog error messages generated at all on this so ive run ipmitool to see if it can give me some info.

./ipmitool chassis status
System Power : on
Power Overload : false
Power Interlock : inactive
Main Power Fault : true
Power Control Fault : false
Power Restore Policy : always-off
Last Power Event :
Chassis Intrusion : inactive
Front-Panel Lockout : inactive
Drive Fault : false
Cooling/Fan Fault : false



./ipmitool sunoem led get all
sys.psfail.led | ON
sys.tempfail.led | OFF
sys.fanfail.led | OFF
bp.power.led | ON
bp.locate.led | OFF
bp.alert.led | SLOW
etc, etc


Can anybody give me an indication whether this unit will need replacing ...or if there are further tests i should perform

(this is an x86 box so prtdiag wont work unfortunately)

Thanks & regards
Gary

dxpower(8)						      System Manager's Manual							dxpower(8)

NAME
dxpower - controls energy saving features on systems that can be power managed SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/X11/dxpower DESCRIPTION
The Power Manager application, dxpower, is used to maintain and manage the power management features on computers and peripherals that can be power managed. Power Manager lets you place monitors in three power saving modes: Standby, Suspend, or Off and lets you selectively spin down inactive disks to reduce power consumption. You also can specify when you want power management features to be active: always, never, or only at a specific time of day. Privileged (root) users have the capability to set system wide power management values. Non-privileged users set power management values on their monitors for the current log in session. The Power Manager application can be invoked from: The CDE Application Manager Application Group: System_Admin System Admin Subgroup: Dai- lyAdmin If you are not using CDE, start Power Manager from the command line: # /usr/bin/X11/dxpower For more information about how to use the Power Manager application, start the application and click on the Help button. An alternative to using the Power Manager application is to set and control power management attributes from the command line by using the sysconfig command. Refer to System Administration for more information about setting and controlling power management from the command line. SEE ALSO
Commands: sysconfig(8) System Administration dxpower(8)
