NOTE: The LOM (Broadcom 57416) is compatible with 10GBASE-T IEEE 802.3an and 1000 BASE-T IEEE 802.3ab.
Power supply unit indicator codes
AC power supply units (PSUs) have an illuminated translucent handle that serves as an indicator.
The DC PSUs have an LED that serves as an indicator.
The indicator shows whether power is present or if a power fault has occurred.
Figure 12. AC PSU status indicator
1AC PSU status indicator/handle
Table 7. AC PSU status indicator codes
Power indicator codes Condition
Green A valid power source is connected to the PSU and the PSU is operational.
Blinking amber Indicates a problem with the PSU.
Not illuminated Power is not connected to the PSU.
Blinking green When the rmware of the PSU is being updated, the PSU handle blinks green.
CAUTION: Do not disconnect the power cord or unplug the PSU when updating rmware. If
rmware update is interrupted, the PSUs do not function.
Dell EMC PowerEdge T640 overview 19

Power indicator codes Condition
Blinking green and turns o When hot-plugging a PSU, the PSU handle blinks green ve times at a rate of 4 Hz and turns o. This
indicates a PSU mismatch with respect to eciency, 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 turn the system on.
CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the PSU with the blinking indicator.
Swapping the PSU to make a matched pair can result in an error condition and unexpected
system shutdown. To change from a high output conguration to a low output conguration or
vice versa, you must turn o 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 dierent input voltages, they
can output dierent wattages, and trigger a mismatch.
CAUTION: If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same type and have the same maximum
output power.
CAUTION: Combining AC and DC PSUs is not supported and triggers a mismatch.
Figure 13. DC PSU status indicator

Table 8. DC PSU status indicator codes
Power indicator codes Condition
Green A valid power source is connected to the PSU and the PSU is operational.
Blinking amber Indicates a problem with the PSU.
Not illuminated Power is not connected to the PSU.
Blinking green When hot-plugging a PSU, the PSU indicator blinks green. This indicates that there is a PSU mismatch
with respect to eciency, feature set, health status, or supported voltage.
