Power On The Server; Validate Server Setup; Power Off The Server - Lenovo ThinkSystem ST250 V2 Setup Manual

Power on the server

After the server performs a short self-test (power status LED flashes quickly) when connected to input power,
it enters a standby state (power status LED flashes once per second).
The server can be turned on (power LED on) in any of the following ways:
• You can press the power button.
• The server can restart automatically after a power interruption.
• The server can respond to remote power-on requests sent to the Lenovo XClarity Controller.
For information about powering off the server, see "Power off the server" on page 106.

Validate server setup

After powering up the server, make sure that the LEDs are lit and that they are green.

Power off the server

The server remains in a standby state when it is connected to a power source, allowing the Lenovo XClarity
Controller to respond to remote power-on requests. To remove all power from the server (power-on LED off),
you must disconnect all power cables.
To place the server in a standby state (power-on LED flashes once per second):
Note: The Lenovo XClarity Controller can place the server in a standby state as an automatic response to a
critical system failure.
• Start an orderly shutdown using the operating system (if supported by your operating system).
• Press the power-on button to start an orderly shutdown (if supported by your operating system).
• Press and hold the power button for more than 4 seconds to force a shutdown.
When in a standby state, the server can respond to remote power-on requests sent to the Lenovo XClarity
Controller. For information about powering on the server, see "Power on the server" on page 106.
