Virtual Power Button options

• Momentary Press—The same as pressing the physical power button. If the server is powered off, a
momentary press will turn on the server power.
Some operating systems might be configured to initiate a graceful shutdown after a momentary press,
or to ignore this event. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using system commands to complete
a graceful operating system shutdown before you attempt to shut down by using the Virtual Power
button.
• Press and Hold—The same as pressing the physical power button for 5 seconds and then releasing
it.
The server is powered off as a result of this operation. Using this option might circumvent the graceful
shutdown features of the operating system.
