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 cable 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 turns off. This 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. This 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 vice versa, you must power off the system.
CAUTION:AC PSUs support both 240 V and 120 V input voltages except for titanium PSUs, which support only 240 V. When two identical PSUs receive different input voltages, they can output different wattages, and trigger a mismatch.
CAUTION:If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same type and have the same maximum output power.
