User's Guide
When the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on, the
operating system does not run, and all core logic except for the service processor is
shut down; however, the server can respond to requests from the service processor,
such as a remote request to turn on the server. The power-on LED flashes to
indicate that the server is connected to ac power but not turned on.
Approximately 20 seconds after the server is connected to ac power, the
power-control button becomes active, and you can turn on the server and start the
operating system by pressing the power-control button.
v The server can also be turned on in any of the following ways:
– If a power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart
automatically when power is restored.
– If the server is connected to an Advanced System Management interconnect
network that contains at least one server with an optional Remote Supervisor
Adapter installed, the server can be turned on from the Remote Supervisor
Adapter user interface.
– If your operating system supports the system-management software for an
optional Remote Supervisor Adapter, the system-management software can
turn on the server.
– If your operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature, the Wake on
LAN feature can turn on the server.
