Notes:
1. Wait until the power-on LED on the blade appliance flashes slowly before
you press the power-control button. While the blade appliance is initializing
and synchronizing with the BladeCenter management module, the power-on
LED flashes rapidly, and the power-control button on the blade appliance
does not respond. This process can take approximately two minutes after the
blade appliance has been installed.
2. While the blade appliance is starting, the power-on LED on the front of the
blade appliance is lit and does not flash. See "Blade appliance controls and
LEDs" on page 9 for the power-on LED states.
3. If the BladeCenter unit does not have enough power to turn on the blade
appliance, the BladeCenter management module denies the blade appliance
permission to turn on, through the IMM, a short time after power is applied
to the blade appliance. The blade appliance will turn off immediately, the
fault led will light, and an error entry will appear in the management
module event log.
