In this article, we will discuss how to troubleshoot an Industrial Computer that cannot auto-start up due to a BIOS Power Status PWR Failure Hidden issue.
Understanding the BIOS Power Status PWR Failure Hidden Issue
The BIOS Power Status PWR Failure Hidden issue occurs when the BIOS fails to recognize the power supply status correctly. This issue can prevent the computer from booting up properly.
Symptoms of the Problem
- The computer does not turn on or does not start up properly.
- The motherboard LEDs show no activity or an error code related to power supply.
- The computer's power supply unit (PSU) is working correctly, but the computer still does not start.
Troubleshooting Steps
Step 1: Check the Power Supply Unit (PSU)
Ensure that the PSU is working correctly. You can do this by connecting the PSU to another computer or using a multimeter to check the output voltage.
Step 2: Access the BIOS
To access the BIOS, you will need to restart the computer and press the appropriate key (usually F2, F10, F12, or Delete) to enter the BIOS setup.
Step 3: Check the Power Status Settings
Once in the BIOS, navigate to the Power Management or System Configuration settings. Look for the Power Status or Power Failure options. If you see an option called PWR Failure Hidden, set it to Enabled or Default.
Step 4: Save and Exit the BIOS
After making the necessary changes, save the settings and exit the BIOS. The computer should now start up correctly.
Code Block Example
Here is an example of how to access the BIOS settings in a Dell PowerEdge server:
# Access the BIOS
Press F2 during system startup
# Navigate to Power Management settings
Use the arrow keys to navigate to System Configuration > Power Management
# Enable PWR Failure Hidden
Press Enter to select the PWR Failure Hidden option and then press F10 to save and exit
