4.1 Chassis Description
The PowerEdge T410 chassis offers the optimum size for growing businesses and large organizations
with remote locations.
The new chassis design of the PowerEdge 410 offers cabled hard disk drives (HDDs) or hot-plug hard
disk drives. Each is available with redundant Power Supply Units (PSUs) or non-redundant PSUs are
options.
The PowerEdge T410 chassis is user friendly. Many of the T410 components devices are tool-less.
These tool-less components include HDDs (cabled and hot-plug), fans, extension cards, planar, back
plane, and redundant PSUs. The non-redundant PSU uses only three screws to reduce the assembly
and service time.

4.5 Power Supply Indicators
Figure 8. Close-up of Redundant PSU Option
Light indicators:
• Not lit – AC power is not connected.
• Green – In standby mode, a green light indicates a valid AC source is connected to the power
supply and it is operational. When the system is on, a green light also indicates the power
supply is providing DC power to the system.
• Amber – Indicates a problem with the power supply.
• Alternating green and amber – When hot-adding a power supply, this indicates that the power
supply is mismatched with the other power supply (Ex. a High Output 500-W power supply and
a 400-W power supply are installed in the same system). Replace the power supply that has the
flashing indicator with a power supply that matches the capacity of the other installed power
supply.
