Power On And Off, Reset, And Halt - Compaq ES40CSLP Installation, User & Service Manual

4.7.4 Power On and Off, Reset, and Halt

The RMC power {on, off}, halt {in, out}, and reset commands perform the same functions as
the buttons on the operator control panel.
Power On and Power Off
The RMC power on command powers the system on, and the power off command powers the
system off into standby mode. The Power button on the OCP, however, has precedence.
•
If the system has been powered off with the Power button, the RMC cannot power the
system on. If you enter the power on command, the message "Power button is OFF" is
displayed, indicating that the command will have no effect.
•
If the system has been powered on with the Power button, and the power off command is
used to turn the system off, you can toggle the Power button to power the system back on.
When you issue the power on command, the terminal exits RMC and reconnects to the server's
COM1 port.
RMC> power on
Returning to COM port
RMC> power off
Halt In and Halt Out
The halt in command halts the system. The halt out command releases the halt. When you
issue either the halt in or halt out command, the terminal exits RMC and reconnects to the
server's COM1 port.
RMC> halt in
Returning to COM port
RMC> halt out
Returning to COM port
The halt out command cannot release the halt if the Halt button is latched in. If you enter the
halt out command, the message "Halt button is IN" is displayed, indicating that the command
will have no effect. Toggling the Power button on the operator control panel overrides the halt
in condition.
Reset
The RMC reset command restarts the system. The terminal exits RMC and reconnects to the
server's COM1 port.
RMC> reset
Returning to COM port
