Non-Redundant Power Supply Status Indicator

Not lit — AC power is not connected.

Green — In standby mode, a green light indicates that a valid AC source is 
connected to the power supply and that the power supply is operational. 
When the system is on, a green light also indicates that the power supply is 
providing DC power to the system.
