is not present or the fans
have failed.
• The required number
of power supply is not
present in the system.
Power Supply Unit LED
The power supply unit is located at the back of the controller.
Each power supply has a single bi-color LED to indicate power supply unit status. Use
the information in the following table to interpret the health of the power supply unit
and the redundant power supply unit, if one is installed.

Figure 5: Attach the power cord to the controller
Procedure
1. Attach the power cord to the power supply module:
a. Insert the locking tab end of the retention strap into the receiver hole of the
power supply unit.
The power supply unit is located to the right of Power Supply #1.
b. Adjust the slider of the retention strap. Push up the locking tab on the bottom of
the slider.
c. If you are using another power cord to create an optional redundant power
supply, connect the two AC power cords to power supplies #1 and #2. These two
power supplies combine and create an optional redundant power supply.
d. Lock the retention strap to the power cord by pulling the slider strap over the
power cord.
2. Plug the other end of the power cords into grounded electrical outlets or to separate
power sources, such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power distribution
unit (PDU).
3. Power On the controller.
The power button is located on the front control panel.
Note
The power button must be pressed to turn the controller On. The controller
is On only when the power button LED is lit.

Install the Power Supply Unit
About This Task
The controller ships with one power supply unit. You can replace the existing power
supply unit if needed or add a second unit as a backup.
Note
The controller requires one power supply to operate normally. Remove and
replace only one power supply at a time in a system that is powered On.
With two power supply units installed, the power load is distributed across both power
supplies to maximize efciency. When you remove one unit with the system powered
On, then the remaining power supply unit picks up the power load.
