Interpreting the Indicators

Your power supply has an indicator located in the upper half of the module
front panel labeled P/S ACTIVE. Refer to the table below for descriptions
of possible conditions.

Troubleshooting a Single
Power Supply

If you have a single power supply installed in the I/O chassis and its P/S
ACTIVE indicator is off, verify the ground connection to the supply; then
follow the flow chart below.

Table 4 Interpreting the P/S ACTIVE Indicator

If the indicator is:

Then:

ON

The power supply (and any supply connected thru a paralleling cable ) is
operating normally. However, it could still have a poor connection to the
backplane.

OFF

The power supply has detected one of the following:

• dc overvoltage (the supply shuts down)

• dc undervoltage (the supply shuts down)

• dc overcurrent (the supply shuts down)

• power switch is turned off (the supply is turned off)

• ac undervoltage

• the paralleled supply is shut down

With ac undervoltage or a paralleled supply shut down, the supply will
attempt to generate the output. When dc limits ar exceeded, the supply
shuts down until you turn power off (for 5s minimum) and then turn it
back on.
