Power Supply Unit LED Locations

The following illustration shows the location of the alarm/status LEDs on the EdgeFLEX 600 DC Power Supply Units. The PSU OK LED indicates the status of the PSU; green indicates that the PSU is functioning properly, red indicates that the PSU is experiencing a fault or (in the case of a redundant PSU with the system powered by the other PSU) that DC power has not been connected to the PSU.
