Power supply unit indicator codes

AC power supply units (PSUs) have an illuminated translucent handle that serves as an indicator. The indicator shows if power is
present or if a power fault has occurred.

Table 47. AC PSU status indicator codes

Power indicator codes

Condition

Green

Indicates that a valid power source is connected to the PSU
and the PSU is operational.

Blinking amber

Indicates an issue with the PSU.

Not powered on

Indicates that the power is not connected to the PSU.

Blinking green

Indicates that the firmware of the PSU is being updated.

CAUTION:

Do not disconnect the power cord or

unplug the PSU when updating firmware. If firmware
update is interrupted, the PSUs do not function.

Blinking green and powers off

When hot-plugging a PSU, it blinks green five times at a rate
of 4 Hz and powers off. This indicates a PSU mismatch due to
efficiency, feature set, health status, or supported voltage.

CAUTION:

If two PSUs are installed, both the PSUs

must have the same type of label; for example,
Extended Power Performance (EPP) label. Mixing
PSUs from previous generations of PowerEdge
servers is not supported, even if the PSUs have the
