OUT OK power LED: Each hot-swap dc power supply has an OUT OK power LED.
When the OUT OK power LED is lit, it indicates that the power supply is supplying
adequate dc power to the system. During typical operation, both the IN OK and
OUT OK power LEDs are lit. For any other combination of LEDs, see the Problem
Determination and Service Guide on the IBM System x Documentation CD.
Power-supply error LED: When the power-supply error LED is lit, it indicates that
the power supply has failed.
Note: Power supply 1 is the default/primary power supply. If power supply 1 fails,
you must replace the power supply immediately.

LED flashes to indicate that the server is connected to an ac power source but is
not turned on.
