Server power features
When you connect the server to an ac power source, the server goes into Standby
mode. After approximately 20 seconds, the power-control button becomes active, and
you can turn on the server and start the operating system by pressing the power-
control button. The following section describes other ways in which the server can be
turned on.
A power-control-button shield comes with your server. You can install this disk-shaped
shield to prevent the server from being turned off accidentally.
Turning on the server: After the server is connected to an ac power source, it
can be turned on in any of the following ways:
You can press the power-control button.
If a power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart
automatically when power is restored.
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.
Turning off the server: Some operating systems require an orderly shutdown
before you turn off the server. See your operating-system documentation for
information about shutting down the operating system.
