Power supply unit indicator codes
AC and DC power supply units (PSUs) have an illuminated translucent handle that serves as an indicator. The indicator shows if
power is present or if a power fault has occurred.
Figure 4. AC PSU status indicator

2. Socket
3. Release latch
Table 5. AC PSU status indicator codes
Power indicator codes Condition
Green Indicates that a valid power source is connected to the PSU
and the PSU is operational.
Blinking amber Indicates an issue with the PSU.
Not powered on Indicates that the power is not connected to the PSU.
Blinking green Indicates that the firmware of the PSU is being updated.

Table 5. AC PSU status indicator codes (continued)
Power indicator codes Condition
CAUTION: Do not disconnect the power cord or
unplug the PSU when updating firmware. If firmware
update is interrupted, the PSUs will not function.
Blinking green and powers off When hot-plugging a PSU, it blinks green five times at a rate
of 4 Hz and powers off. This indicates a PSU mismatch due to
efficiency, feature set, health status, or supported voltage.
CAUTION: If two PSUs are installed, both the PSUs
must have the same type of label; for example,
Extended Power Performance (EPP) label. Mixing
PSUs from previous generations of PowerEdge
servers is not supported, even if the PSUs have the
same power rating. This results in a PSU mismatch
condition or failure to power on the system.
CAUTION: If two PSUs are used, they must be of
the same type and have the same maximum output
power.
CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace
the PSU with the blinking indicator. Swapping the
PSU to make a matched pair can result in an error
condition and an unexpected system shutdown. To
change from a high output configuration to a low
output configuration or vice versa, you must power
off the system.
CAUTION: AC PSUs support both 240 V and 120 V
input voltages with the exception of Titanium PSUs,
which support only 240 V. When two identical PSUs
receive different input voltages, they can output
different wattages, and trigger a mismatch.

Power indicator codes Condition
Green Indicates that a valid power source is connected to the PSU,
and the PSU is operational.
Blinking amber Indicates an issue with the PSU.
Not powered on Indicates that the power is not connected to the PSU.

PSU to make a matched pair can result in an error
condition and an unexpected system shutdown. To
change from a High Output configuration to a Low
Output configuration or conversely, you must power
off the system.
CAUTION: Combining AC and DC PSUs is not
supported.
Locating the Express Service Code and Service Tag
The unique Express Service Code and Service Tag are used to identify the system.
The information tag is located on the rear of the system that includes system information such as iDRAC MAC address, Express
Service Tag label.

1. Information tag (bottom view)
2. iDRAC MAC address information label
3. Information tag (top view)
4. Express Service Tag label
The Mini Enterprise Service Tag (MEST) label is located on the system. The MEST includes the Service Tag (ST), Express
Service Code (Exp Svc Code), and Manufacture Date (Mfg. Date). The Exp Svc Code is used by Dell EMC to route support calls
to the appropriate personnel.
Alternatively, the Service Tag information is located on a label on the left wall of the system.
