Table 10. AC PSU status indicator codes (continued)
Power indicator codes Condition
Blinking green When the firmware of the PSU is being updated, the PSU handle blinks green.
CAUTION: Do not disconnect the power cord or unplug the PSU when updating
firmware. If firmware update is interrupted, the PSUs do not function.
Blinking green and turns
off
When hot-plugging a PSU, the PSU handle blinks green five times at a rate of 4 Hz and turns off.
This indicates a PSU mismatch with respect to efficiency, feature set, health status, or supported
voltage.
CAUTION: If two PSUs are installed, both the PSUs must have the same type of label;
for example, Extended Power Performance (EPP) label. Mixing PSUs from previous
generations of XC Series Appliance and XC Core System is not supported, even if the
PSUs have the same power rating. This results in a PSU mismatch condition or failure
to turn the system on.
CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the PSU with the blinking
indicator. Swapping the PSU to make a matched pair can result in an error condition
and unexpected system shutdown. To change from a high output configuration to a
low output configuration or vice versa, you must turn off the system.
CAUTION: AC PSUs support both 240 V and 120 V input voltages with the exception of
Titanium PSUs, which support only 240 V. When two identical PSUs receive different
input voltages, they can output different wattages, and trigger a mismatch.
CAUTION: If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same type and have the same
maximum output power.
CAUTION: Combining AC and DC PSUs is not supported and triggers a mismatch.

Power indicator codes Condition
Green
A valid power source is connected to the PSU and the PSU is operational.
Blinking amber Indicates a problem with the PSU.
Not illuminated Power is not connected to the PSU.
Blinking green When hot-plugging a PSU, the PSU indicator blinks green. This indicates that there is a PSU
mismatch with respect to efficiency, feature set, health status, or supported voltage.
