Explanation:
Hard to be sure without proper context, but my guess would be that this (these) dead input(s) would not actually be literally 'dead' (as in 'grillée'!), otherwise it would be more a case of 'réanimation'.
I think here it is much more likely to be a case of enabling inputs that have perhaps for some reason been disabled, perhaps a default status?

Although this is certainly one logical, plausible interpretation, I have put a low C/R as sadly this sort of telegraphic text is so open to ambiguity.

25D could conceivably be referring to a 25-pin 'D'-type connector, widely used in industrial electronics. So it might be the inputs on this connector that are currently dead, or this connector might be the one being used to enable the inputs.

Explanation:
" Dead Line/Dead Bus Check
The Dead Volt Limit defines the Hot/Dead voltage level used in Deadline/Dead Bus closing schemes. When the measured VX voltage is equal to or below the Dead Volt Limit, VX is considered dead. When the measured VX is above the Dead Volt Limit, VX is considered hot. The opposite side of the breaker uses the positive sequence voltage measurement
(V1) for 3-phase consideration in determining hot/dead detection. Different combinations of hot line/dead bus closings may be selected, depending on how the buses are referenced. A logic diagram of the Deadline/Dead Bus scheme is presented in Figure 4-33.

The Dead V1, Dead VX, and Dead V1 & VX enable are software switches used to enable the dead line/dead bus logic. Further conditioning can be performed on the dead detection logic by selecting one or more input contacts (Dead Input Enable) to control the enabled dead detection element. For example, if INPUT2 (I2) is selected under the Dead Input Enable screen, and both the Dead V1 and Dead VX elements are enabled, the dead check timer will start when INPUT2 is activated, and either V1 dead/VX hot or V1 hot/VX dead. This allows for external control of the desired dead closing scheme.
Dead Input Enable selections are common to all dead detection elements. If no inputs are selected under the Dead Input Enable screen, and any dead element is enabled, the dead check timer will start immediately when the dead condition exists."
