Powering up the server
About this task
The SL/XL Chassis Firmware initiates an automatic power-up sequence when the servers are installed. If the
default setting is changed, use one of the following methods to power up each server:
•
Use a virtual power button selection through iLO .
•
Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
When the server goes from the standby mode to the full power mode, the server power LED changes from
amber to green.
For more information about iLO , see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
Powering down the server
About this task
Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical
server data and programs.
CAUTION:
Before powering down the server, perform a backup of critical server data and programs. Removing the
server while the Do not remove LED is on may result in data loss or corruption. The server can be safely
removed from the chassis only after the Do not remove LED is off.
IMPORTANT:
When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the system.
To power down the server , use one of the following methods:
•
Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby
mode.
•
Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server to enter standby
mode.
This method forces the server to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the OS. If
an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.
•
Use a virtual power button selection through iLO .
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters
standby mode.
Before proceeding, verify that the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is
amber.
