I am getting "PSU0036 - An over current fault detected on power supply..." on both the PSU of PowerEdge R330.
The light indicator at the rear of both PSUs shows Amber.
However, if I do not power on the server (but the PSU is connected to an incoming power source). The rear light indicator of both PSUs is green. And the moment I turn On the server, the PSU light indicator will turn Amber.

Yes, I found that article published on PSU0036. Had tried reinstalling the PSU, but the problem persists. Also, the issue happened to both PSUs at the same time. I suspect the problem is not with the PSU.
I am however, trying to figure out whether the PSU was actually in an OK condition, since the observation of the LED indicator at the rear showing Green if I don't turn On the server.
Hello, Did you mean that you tried another power distribution unit/electrical outlet/AC power plugs and sockets? Like you said yourself as well, I think it's only reasonable to see if the PSU was functioning properly for now for troubleshooting.
