Power supply unit indicator codes

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

Convention

Power indicator 

pattern

Condition

A

Green

A valid power source is connected to the PSU and the PSU is 
operational.

B

Flashing green

When the firmware of the PSU is being updated, the PSU handle 
flashes green.

C

Flashing green 
and turns off

When hot-adding a PSU, the PSU handle flashes green five times at 
4 Hz rate and turns off. This indicates a PSU mismatch with respect 
to efficiency, feature set, health status, and supported voltage.

NOTE: Ensure that both the PSUs are of the same capacity.

CAUTION: For AC PSUs, use only PSUs with the Extended 
Power Performance (EPP) label on the back.

D

Flashing amber

Indicates a problem with the PSU.
