Description | This article describes the behavior of the Redundant Power Supply Unit (PSU) for FortiGate-9xG and 12xG. |
Scope | FortiGate-9xG and 12xG. |
Solution |
It is expected that when there are 2 PSU connected, and when one of them fails, the Power (PWR) status would turn red/amber: LEDs
For 9xG and 12xG, the LED status would only change after 60 seconds. This is due to the hardware sensor behavior by default, in which it will check the sensor information every 60 seconds. This behavior cannot be changed.
In the following example, one PSU has been unplugged but the status is not reflected immediately :
FortiGate-121G # exe sensor list
After 60 seconds, then the status is reflected and the system log will be updated : FortiGate-121G # exe sensor list System event log:
date=2025-03-05 time=14:58:47 eventtime=1741215527518955245 tz="-0800" logid="0100022106" type="event" subtype="system" level="information" vd="root" logdesc="Optional power supply not detected" action="ipmc-sensor-monitor" status="anomaly" msg="Power Supply is not detected: PSU [1] LOST"
