According to aviation matters. co, the yellow hydraulics on the Airbus A320 is normally pressurized by an engine-driven pump (EDP) on engine number 2 (EDP 2). The A320 yellow hydraulic system can also be powered by the yellow electric pump permitting the yellow hydraulics to be pressurized on the ground even with engine number two shut down.
The yellow system can also be pressurized by a hand pump on the ground to permit the ground crew member to operate the cargo doors, even without electrical power available to the plane.
