Power Supply Unit indicator codes
Each AC power supply unit (PSU) has an illuminated translucent handle that indicates whether power is present or whether a
power fault has occurred.

Power Indicator Pattern Condition
Green A valid power source is connected to the PSU and the PSU is
operational.
Flashing green When the PSU firmware is being updated, the PSU LED
flashes green.
CAUTION: Do not disconnect the power cord or
unplug the PSU when updating firmware. If firmware
update is interrupted, the PSUs will not function.
16 Dell PowerEdge C6320 product overview
Table 8. 1400 W AC or HVDC PSU indicators (continued)
Power Indicator Pattern Condition
You must roll back the PSU firmware by using Dell
Lifecycle Controller. For more information, see Dell
Lifecycle Controller User’s Guide at Dell.com/
idracmanuals.
Flashing green and turns off When hot-adding a PSU, the PSU LED flashes green five
times at 4 Hz rate and turns off. This indicates that there is a
PSU mismatch with respect to efficiency, feature set, health
status, and supported voltage.
NOTE: Ensure that both the PSUs are of the same
capacity.
NOTE: Mixing PSUs from previous generations of Dell
PowerEdge servers can result in a PSU mismatch
condition and failure to turn the system on.
Flashing amber Indicates a problem with the PSU.
CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace
only the PSU with the flashing indicator. Swapping
the other 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: 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.
Not lit Power is not connected.
