Condition
configuration or conversely, you must turn off the
system.
CAUTION:
AC PSUs support both 240 V and 120 V input
voltages except for Titanium PSUs, which support only
240 V. When two identical PSUs receive different input
voltages, they can output different wattages, and
trigger a mismatch.
CAUTION:
If two PSUs are used, they must be of the
same type and have the same maximum output power.
CAUTION:
Combining AC and DC PSUs is not supported
and triggers a mismatch.

Condition
Green
A valid power source is connected to the PSU, and the PSU is
operational.
Blinking amber
Indicates a problem with the PSU.
Not illuminated
Power is not connected to the PSU.
Blinking green
When hot-plugging a PSU, the PSU indicator blinks green. This
indicates that there is a PSU mismatch about 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 turn on the system.
CAUTION:
When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace
only the PSU with the blinking indicator. Swapping the
