LED Description
1 Output and fault
status (bi-color,
green and yellow)
The output and fault status LED can be in one of the following states:
• Off: The server is powered off, or the power supply unit is not working properly. If the server is
powered on but the LED is off, replace the power supply unit.
• Slow blinking green (about one flash per second): The power supply is in zero-output mode
(standby). When the server power load is low, one of the installed power supplies enters into
the standby state while the other one delivers entire load. When the power load increases, the
standby power supply will switch to active state to provide sufficient power to the server.
• Fast blinking green (about five flashes per second): The power supply unit is in firmware
update mode.
• Green: The server is on and the power supply unit is working normally.
• Yellow: The power supply unit may have failed. Dump the FFDC log from the system and
contact Lenovo back-end support team for PSU data log reviewing.
Zero-output mode can be disabled via Setup Utility or Lenovo XClarity Controller web interface. If
you disable zero-output mode, both power supplies will be in the active state.
• Start the Setup utility, go to System Settings ➙ Power ➙ Zero Output and select Disable. If
you disable zero-output mode, both power supplies will be in the active state.
• Log in to the Lenovo XClarity Controller web interface, choose Server Configuration ➙
Power Policy, disable Zero Output Mode, and then click Apply.

• Green: The power supply unit is connected to the input power source.
