LEDs and Switches Hot-Plug Power Supply The hot-plug power supply has LEDs to indicate fault and power status. Use Figure D-5 and Table D-5 to identify LED locations and functions. Figure D-5: Hot-plug power supply LEDs Table D-5: Hot-Plug Power Supply LEDs Item 1 LED Description Status Power Green = Power is available. Green flashing = Hot-plug power supply is in standby. Off = No power is available, and/or hot-plug power supply has failed. 2 Fault Amber = Hot-plug power supply has failed.
LEDs and Switches Bus Bar The bus bar has two LEDs to indicate DC power presence and polarity. Use Figure D-6 and Table D-6 to identify LED locations and functions.
LEDs and Switches Diagnostic Station The diagnostic station has multiple LEDs to indicate power and network functions. Use Figure D-7 and Table D-7 to identify LED locations and functions.
LEDs and Switches Buttons and Switches Reset and Unit Identification Buttons Each management module contains a reset button and unit identification button. Use Figure D-8 and Table D-8 to identify the button locations and functions.
LEDs and Switches The zone 1 switch setting is the default position; it is used for scalable bus bar, single mini bus bar, and power bus box solutions. The zone 2 switch setting is only used for a secondary power zone when you configure a full-rack 42U solution with two pairs of mini bus bars. For the system to recognize multiple power zones and rack topology properly, you must set these switches at the time of installation. Use Figure D-9 and Table D-9 to identify switch locations and settings.
LEDs and Switches IMPORTANT: All power configuration switches in the same zone must be set to the same position. The system issues alerts and the management link connector LEDs on the power management modules flash when these switches are set improperly. To set the switches for multiple power zones, use Example D-1 and Figure D-10: Example D-1: A full-rack 42U solution with two pairs of mini bus bars requires two power zones.
