What does a green LED indicate for an RPS (Redundant Power System)?

A green LED on a Redundant Power System (RPS) indicates that the system is in a ready state. This means that the RPS is operational and prepared to take over power supply responsibilities if needed. When the green LED is illuminated, it signals that the redundant power system is functioning correctly and is available to provide power backup to connected devices, ensuring continuity and reliability in the event of a primary power source failure.

In contrast, other states, such as "no RPS active," "RPS in standby mode," or "RPS currently providing power to another device," do not reflect readiness. A state indicating "no RPS active" would typically involve no power connections or function of the RPS. Standby mode, while functional, would suggest that the unit is waiting for an active power need rather than being ready to provide support. Similarly, when the RPS is actively supplying power to another device, it may not be in a 'ready' state but rather in a 'providing power' state. Thus, the presence of a green LED signifies a high level of functionality and preparedness, making it a positive indicator of system status.
