Table 31. DC PSU status indicator codes (continued) Power indicator codes Condition 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 conversely, you must power off the system. CAUTION: Combining AC and DC PSUs is not supported. Drive indicator codes The LEDs on the drive carrier indicate the state of each drive. Each drive carrier has two LEDs: an activity LED (green) and a status LED (bicolor, green/amber). The activity LED blinks whenever the drive is accessed. Figure 89. Drive indicators 1. Drive activity LED indicator 2. Drive status LED indicator 3. Drive capacity label NOTE: If the drive is in the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) mode, the status LED indicator does not power on. NOTE: Drive status indicator behavior is managed by Storage Spaces Direct. Not all drive status indicators may be used. Table 32.

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 conversely, you must power
off the system.
CAUTION:
Combining AC and DC PSUs is not
supported.
Drive indicator codes
The LEDs on the drive carrier indicate the state of each drive. Each drive carrier has two LEDs: an activity LED (green) and a
status LED (bicolor, green/amber). The activity LED blinks whenever the drive is accessed.
