Power supplies (up to two: redundant as 1+1). Each power supply has a power supply fault LED and an AC power LED.

When the fault LED is:

• Off: The power supply is operating normally.

• Amber, blinking: An event warning threshold has been reached, but the power supply continues to operate.

• Amber, solid: A critical fault threshold has been reached, causing the power supply to shut down (for example, a fan failure or an over-temperature condition).

When the AC Power LED is:

• Green, solid: AC power is OK, DC output is OK.

• Green, blinking: AC power is OK, DC output is not enabled.

• Off: There is no AC power to the power supply.
