NOTE:
This appliance uses a passive backplane and the status LED indicator does not turn on.
NOTE:
Drive status indicator behavior is managed by VxRail. Not all drive status indicators may be used.
Power supply unit indicator codes
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.
NOTE:
The 2400 W and 2000 W PSUs use a C19 or C20 connector.

Condition
A valid power source is connected to the PSU and the PSU is operational.
Indicates a problem with the PSU.
Power is not connected to the PSU.
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.
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 with respect to efficiency, feature set, health status, or supported
voltage.
CAUTION:
The PSUs must have the same type of label; for example, Extended Power
Performance (EPP) label. Mixing PSUs from previous generations of VxRail servers is
not supported, even if the PSUs have the same power rating. This results in a PSU
mismatch condition or failure to turn the system on.
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 turn off the system.
CAUTION:
If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same type and have the same
maximum output power.
