Power indicator
Condition
codes
● Both PSUs have the same type of label. For example, Extended Power Performance (EPP) label.
● The PSUs are of the same type and have the same maximum output power.
Do not mix PSUs from previous generations of servers, even if the PSUs have the same power rating.
This results in a PSU mismatch condition or failure to turn the VxRail on.
When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace the PSU with the blinking indicator. Do not swap the PSU to
make a matched pair.
To change from a high output configuration to a low output configuration or conversely, you must
power off the system.
Hard drive indicator codes
Each hard drive carrier has an activity indicator and a status indicator. The indicators provide information about the current
status of the hard drive. The activity LED indicates whether the hard drive is currently in use or not. The status LED indicates
the power condition of the hard drive.
The following figure shows the hard drive indicators on the hard drive and the hard drive tray backplane:

The following tables describes the hard drive indicator codes:

CAUTION:
Mixed PSUs may cause a PSU mismatch condition or failure to power on the
system.
CAUTION:
If the PSU is swapped, an erroneous condition may occur and cause an
unexpected system shutdown.
CAUTION:
Do not combine AC and DC PSUs. It is not supported and triggers a mismatch.
Condition
Identifying drive or preparing for removal.
Hard drive ready for removal.
NOTE:
The hard drive status indicator remains off until all drives are initialized
after the VxRail is turned on. Hard drives are not ready for removal during this
time.
