Description
AC power not connected. If this LED is not lit, check to make sure the PSU is
connected to a power feed. If the power feed is good then the PSU has failed and
should be replaced.
The PSU is in standby mode, not supplying power to the chassis.
Normal Operation with AC power connected.
Fault condition (PSU shuts down). This can occur if power input or output is out of
the normal operating range, temperature is out of the normal range, or one or
more fans are not operating. This may be caused by a problem with the PSU. This
could also be caused by conditions external to the PSU, for example, if there is a
problem with the power supplied to the PSU or if the PSU has gotten too hot
because of insufficient ventilation.
Warning that power input or output, temperature, or fan operation is close to being
outside of the normal operating range. This may be caused by a problem with the
PSU. This could also be caused by conditions external to the PSU, for example, if
there is a problem with the power supplied to the PSU or if the PSU has gotten too
hot because of insufficient ventilation.
Install the AC PSUs before connecting them to power.
You can hot swap a PSU without powering down the FortiGate-7081F as long as four PSUs
are connected to power and operating normally. If you need to hot swap one of four operating
PSUs, you must power down the chassis first.
