Status
Condition
Link indicator is green, and activity indicator is off.
The NIC is connected to a valid network at its maximum port speed, and
data is not being sent or received.
Link indicator is amber, and activity indicator is off.
The NIC is connected to a valid network at less than its maximum port
speed, and data is not being sent or received.
Link indicator is blinking green, and activity is off.
NIC identify is enabled through the NIC configuration utility.
Power supply unit indicator codes
AC power supply units (PSUs) have an illuminated translucent handle that serves as an indicator. The indicator shows whether power is
present or if a power fault has occurred.

Power indicator codes
Condition
Green
A valid power source is connected to the PSU, and the PSU is operational.
Blinking amber
Indicates a problem with the PSU.
Not illuminated
Power is not connected to the PSU.
Blinking green
When the firmware of the PSU is being updated, the PSU handle blinks green.
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 turns off When hot-plugging a PSU, the PSU handle blinks green five times at a rate of 4 Hz and powers off. It
indicates a PSU mismatch regarding 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 same power rating. It results in
a PSU mismatch condition or failure to power on the system.
CAUTION:
When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the PSU with the blinking indicator.
Swapping the PSU to make a matched pair can result in an error condition and unexpected
system shutdown. To change from a high output configuration to a low output configuration or
conversely, you must turn off the system.
