1. DC PSU status indicator
This table describes the DC PSU status indicators and the condition of the PSU when the power
indicator light is green, blinking green, blinking amber, and when it is not lit.
Table 6 DC PSU status indicator codes
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 hot-plugging a PSU, the PSU indicator
blinks green. This indicates that there is a
PSU mismatch about 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. This results
in a PSU mismatch condition, or failure to
turn 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.
