Is there only one power supply in the server at the moment? If the power supply was bad, it wouldn't start anything.

I *think* the power supply has failed. I had to down the system for 30 minutes or so, then attempted to power it on. I cannot be certain since, oddly, there are no error lights or anything. All I get is a blue blinking status light, which is "general error" according to Dell's voluminous docs. No beeps, buzzes, whistles, etc. There is no disk activity, but the rear fans come one as soon as the power cables are engaged. I don't mind replacing the power supply, but I want to somehow verify. Anyone have any ideas?
