Power up the server blade
By default, the server blade is set to power up automatically when installed in the server blade enclosure.
Be sure the server blade is compatible with the server blade enclosure. Refer to "Server blade enclosure
compatibility (on page 20)."
If the default setting is changed, use one of the following methods to power up the server blade:
Press the Power On/Standby button on the server blade front panel.
•
A momentary press initiates a power-up request. The server blade determines power availability
•
from the power subsystem. If required power is available, the server blade powers up.
A press of 5 seconds or more initiates a power-up override. The server blade powers up without
•
power availability detection from the system.
CAUTION: Always observe iLO 2 alerts before initiating a power-up override to prevent a hot-plug power
supply fault and possible loss of system power. For more information, refer to the HP Integrated Lights-Out
User Guide.
NOTE: You can perform a server blade power-up override when the management modules are not in use to
manage the power-up request. Be sure that sufficient power is available.
Use the virtual power button features in iLO 2.
•
A momentary power-up selection
•
A hold power-up selection
•
For more information about iLO 2, refer to "Configuration and utilities (on page 41)."
Power down the server blade
Power down the server blade using either of the following methods:
Press the Power On/Standby button on the server blade front panel.
•
Be sure that the server blade is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.
This process may take 30 seconds, during which time some internal circuitry remains active.
Use the virtual power button feature in iLO 2.
•
After initiating a manual or virtual power down command, be sure that the server blade goes into
standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.
