The power supply includes the following button and indicators:

3.4.1 Power Switches

Each power module has an individual on/off switch and power indicator light.

WARNING:

A HARD-SHUTDOWN WILL CAUSE DATA LOSS AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED WHEN

YOU ARE UNABLE TO PERFORM A MANUAL SHUTDOWN AND BACK UP ALL DATA TO THE

FLASH MODULES OR EXTERNAL STORAGE.

3.4.2 AC Voltage Indicator Light

When the power supply is connected to AC power and is operating properly, the indicator light attached to each power supply is green. If the green light is not on, either the power supply is disconnected from an AC power source or the power supply has failed.
