function. You must roll back the PSU firmware by using Dell Lifecycle
Controller. For more information, see Dell Lifecycle Controller User’s
Guide at Dell.com/idracmanuals.
C Flashing green and
turns off
When hot-adding a PSU, the PSU handle flashes green five times at 4 Hz rate and
turns off. This indicates that there is a PSU mismatch with respect to efficiency,
feature set, health status, and supported voltage.
CAUTION: For AC PSUs, use only PSUs with the Extended Power
Performance (EPP) label on the back.
NOTE: Ensure that both the PSUs are of the same capacity.
NOTE: Mixing PSUs from previous generations of Dell PowerEdge servers can
result in a PSU mismatch condition or failure to turn the system on.
D Flashing amber Indicates a problem in the PSU.
CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the PSU with
the flashing indicator. Swapping the other PSU to make a matched pair
can result in an error condition and unexpected system shutdown. To
change from a High Output configuration to a Low Output configuration
or vice versa, you must turn off the system.
CAUTION: AC PSUs support both 220 V and 110 V input voltages with
the exception of Titanium PSUs, which support only 220 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.
E Not lit Power is not connected.
Non-redundant cabled power supply unit indicator codes
Press the self-diagnostic button to perform a quick health check on the non-redundant cabled power supply unit (PSU) of the
system.
