Power supply LEDs

This topic provides information about various power supply LED status and corresponding action suggestions.

The following minimum configuration is required for the server to start:

  • Two processors in socket 1 and 2

  • Two DRAM memory modules in slots 14 and 30

  • Two power supplies in bay 1 and 2

  • One boot drive, M.2, 2.5-inch, 3.5-inch, or EDSFF drive, and RAID adapter if configured. (If OS is needed by debugging)

  • Five system fans

The following table describes the problems that are indicated by various combinations of the power-supply LEDs and the power-on LED on the front operator panel and suggested actions to correct the detected problems.

Each hot-swap power supply has three status LEDs:

LEDDescription
1 Input status
The input status LED can be in one of the following states:

  • Off: The power supply is disconnected from the ac power source.

  • Green: The power supply is connected to the ac power source.
