NIC identity is enabled through the NIC configuration utility.
PSU 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

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 firmware of the PSU is being updated, the PSU handle blinks
green.
CAUTION: Do not disconnect the power cord or unplug the PSU when
updating firmware. If firmware update is interrupted, the PSUs do
not function.

V8 Overview 15
Power indicator codes
Condition
Blinking green and turns off
When hot-plugging a PSU, the PSU handle blinks green five times at a rate
of 4 Hz and turns off. This indicates a PSU mismatch with respect 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 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 configuration to a low output configuration or vice versa, you
must turn 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.
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.
LCD Panel
The LCD panel provides system information, status, and error messages to indicate if the
system is functioning correctly or requires attention. The LCD panel can also be used to
configure or view the system's iDRAC IP address.
The LCD panel is available only on the optional front bezel. The optional front bezel is hot-
pluggable. The statuses and conditions of the LCD panel are outlined here:
•The LCD backlight is white during normal operating conditions.
•When the system needs attention, the LCD backlight turns amber and displays an
error code followed by descriptive text. NOTE: If the system is connected to a
power source and an error is detected, the LCD turns amber regardless of whether
the system is turned on or off.
•When the system turns off and there are no errors, LCD enters the standby mode
after five minutes of inactivity. Press any button on the LCD to turn it on.
•If the LCD panel stops responding, remove the bezel and reinstall it.
If the problem persists, see Getting help.
•The LCD backlight remains off if LCD messaging is turned off using the iDRAC
utility, the LCD panel, or other tools.
