Table 12: DC power supply LED states
Color and Status
Description
Off
There is no DC power to either power supply.
Green (steady)
There is output and the power supply is
operating normally.
Green (blinking)
The power supply is present, but its output is
standby voltage (12VSB).
Amber (steady)
SHUTDOWN: The power supply is not
supplying power to the switch because the
power cord is unplugged or the power supply
shutdown for faults such as a fan failure or
exceeding limits for Over Current Protection
(OCP) or Over Voltage Protection (OVP).
Amber (blinking)
WARNING: The power supply continues to
operate, but there are one or more warning
events such as high temp, high power, high
current, or a slow fan.
Important:
You can hot swap power supplies while the switch is operational. One power supply is
required for continued switch operation.
DC power supply specifications
The VSP 8000 Series comes with one 800 W DC power supply and you can install a secondary
power supply for redundancy.
Important:
You must have either a power supply or a power supply cover in each bay to ensure proper
ventilation. Leaving a power supply bay unpopulated or uncovered impairs the ability of the
fans to cool the chassis.
Figure 24: DC power supply
The 800 W DC power supply uses a DC power supply wiring assembly to connect the power
supply to the DC power source.
