CN-Series Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide Power Supply Monitoring
Power Supply Monitoring
The LEDs on the front of each power supply indicate when there is a problem, such as a failed or failing
power supply. You can also view power supply status in your vSphere Client. If a power supply fails,
contact your support provider for a replacement of the same type and wattage.
The following image shows the front of a single power supply in a CN-Series system.
• Viewing the CN-Series system hardware status. In vSphere Client, you can expand the datacenter that
contains the CN-Series system, select the host, click the Hardware Status tab, and expand Power.
• Viewing events and alarms. In vSphere Client, you can expand the datacenter that contains the
CN-Series system and select the host. Then, click the Task & Events tab or the Alarms tab.
• Examining the power supply handle, as shown in callout 1 in the above image. Each power supply has
an illuminated translucent handle that indicates whether power is present or whether a power fault has
occurred:
◦ Not lit—Indicates no power present.
◦ Steady green—Indicates the power supply is connected to a power source, is operational, and is
supplying power to the CN-Series system.
◦ Blinking amber—Indicates a problem with the power supply.
◦ Blinking green—When performing a hot swap of a power supply, with the CN-Series system
powered on, this LED indicates that the newly-installed power supply is not compatible with the
installed power supply.
If a power supply fails, contact your support provider for a replacement of the same type and wattage.
