| 2 Output status | The output status LED can be in one of the following states: Green: The server is on and the power supply is working normally. Blinking green: The power supply is in zero-output mode (standby). When the server power load is low, one of the installed power supplies enters into the standby state while the other one delivers entire load. When the power load increases, the standby power supply will switch to active state to provide sufficient power to the server. To disable zero-output mode, log in to the Lenovo XClarity Controller web interface, choose , disable Zero Output Mode, and then click Apply. If you disable zero-output mode, both power supplies will be in the active state. Off: The server is powered off, or the power supply is not working properly. If the server is powered on but the power output LED is off, replace the power supply.
