Troubleshooting the power subsystem
The two power supply CRUs for the server provides N+1 redundancy for the server. Each power
supply CRU is identified by the server as 1 and 2 for logging purposes. There are corresponding
LEDs on the diagnostic LED panel for the power supplies.
Power supply CRU failures are identified visually by a single green LED that is turned off when one
or both of the power supplies fail; logged as an IPMI event by voltage sensor logic; and identified
as a power supply CRU failure by iLO3 turning on the appropriate LEDs on the front LED panel.
Power subsystem behavior
For the server, each bulk power supply CRU provides 800 watts of dc power from a nominal 120
VAC, 50-60 Hz; and 1200 watts from a nominal 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. The BMC chip located on
the system board controls the flow of +12 V dc power to the server CRUs. You can control and
display power supply status remotely with the iLO 3 MP pc and ps commands, respectively.
Typical power up sequence of the server is as follows:
• Power LED on front panel glows steady amber when one or two bulk power supplies are
plugged into nominal ac voltage and the +3.3 VDC housekeeping voltage comes on and
stays on whenever ac power is present.
• The iLO 3, Flash memory, and server intrusion circuits are reset after the +3.3 V dc
housekeeping voltage stabilizes.
• iLO3 monitors the power button on the front panel.
• When the power button is pressed, iLO3 signals the bulk power supplies to fully power up.
