a. Check the LED for each bulk power supply (BPS).
The LED is located in the lower left hand corner of the power supply face. Table 5-2 shows
the states of the LEDs.
b. Verify that the power supply and a minimum of two power cords are plugged in to the
chassis.
A yellow LED indicates that the line cord connections are not consistent with the pwrgrd
settings.
NOTE: A minimum of two power cords must be connected to A0 and B0 or A1 and B1. If
the front panel yellow power LED continues to flash with two power cords connected then
the server may not be in an N+1 configuration. Four power cords will be required.
c. Remove and replace any suspect BPS.
