1 Power supply status

The power supply status LED can be in one of the following states:

  • Green: The power supply is connected to the AC power source and working normally.

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

  • Slow blinking green (about one flash every second): The power supply is in PSU standby state with AC present, cold standby state, or always standby state.

  • Amber: The AC power cord is unplugged, AC power lost (with a second power supply in parallel still in AC power input power), or power supply has failed. To resolve the issue, replace the power supply.

  • Slow blinking amber (about one flash every second): Power supply warning events where the power supply continues to operate.

  • Fast blinking green (about 2 flashes each second): Power supply firmware updating.
