• MSL8096 — Functional, fan failure — The power supply is supplying power to the Library,
but the fan has failed so the power supply could fail soon. The power supply should be replaced.
• Installed, failed — The power supply installed in the unit is not working and the Library no
longer has redundant power. The power supply should be replaced.
NOTE:
If the MSL4048 has two power supplies and one fails, after a power cycle the Library will not
recognize the failed power supply as installed in the Library.
The number of power supplies installed in the Library is displayed next to the icon.
• MSL8096 — Removed — A power supply was installed in this location before but has been
removed. Power Supply 1 will always show Removed when it is missing. Power Supply 2 will
show Removed until the Library is rebooted.
For detailed status information, use the RMI Status > Library page or OCP Info > Status screen.
