AC power supply status indicator/handle Convention A B Power Indicator Pattern Green Flashing green Description A valid power source is connected to the power supply and the power supply is operational. When the firmware of the power supply unit is being updated, the power supply handle flashes green. CAUTION: Do not disconnect the power cord or unplug the power supply unit when updating firmware. If firmware update is interrupted, the power supply units will not function. You must roll back the power supply firmware by using Life cycle controller. See Dell Lifecycle Controller User's Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals. C Flashing green When hot-adding a power supply unit, the power supply handle and turns off flashes green five times at 4 Hz rate and turns off. This indicates that there is a power supply mismatch with respect to efficiency, feature set, health status, and supported voltage. Replace the power supply with a power supply that matches the capacity of the power supply. CAUTION: For AC power supplies, use only PSUs with the Extended Power Performance (EPP) label on the back. Mixing PSUs from previous generations of PowerEdge servers can result in a PSU mismatch condition or failure to power on. D Flashing amber Indicates a problem with the power supply unit. 23

set, health status, and supported voltage. Replace the power supply
with a power supply that matches the capacity of the power supply.
CAUTION: For AC power supplies, use only PSUs with the
Extended Power Performance (EPP) label on the back. Mixing
PSUs from previous generations of PowerEdge servers can
result in a PSU mismatch condition or failure to power on.
