Table 11. DC PSU status indicator codes
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 eciency, feature set, health status, or supported voltage.
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 conguration to a Low Output
conguration or vice versa, you must turn o the system.
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.
Hard drive indicator codes
Each hard drive carrier has an activity LED indicator and a status LED indicator. The indicators provide information about the current status
of the hard drive. The activity LED indicator indicates whether the hard drive is currently in use or not. The status LED indicator indicates
the power condition of the drive.

NOTE: If the hard drive is in the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) mode, the status LED indicator does not turn on.
NOTE: Drive status indicator behavior is managed by Storage Spaces Direct. Not all drive status indicators may be used.
