Condition
Indicates that a valid power source is connected to the PSU and the PSU is operational.
Indicates an issue with the PSU.
Indicates that the power is not connected to the PSU.
Indicates that the firmware of the PSU is being updated.
CAUTION:
Do not disconnect the power cord or unplug the PSU when updating
firmware. If firmware update is interrupted, the PSUs do not function.
When hot-plugging a PSU, it blinks green five times at a rate of 4 Hz and powers off. This indicates
a PSU mismatch due to 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:
If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same type and have the same
maximum output power.
CAUTION:
When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace the PSU with the blinking
indicator. Swapping the PSU to make a matched pair can result in an error condition
and an 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 with the exception of
Titanium PSUs, which support only 240 V. When two identical PSUs receive different
input voltages, they can output different wattages, and trigger a mismatch.
