Operations
This chapter describes the hardware operations carried out prior to and after installing or removing a hardware option, or
performing a server maintenance or troubleshooting procedure.
Before performing these hardware operations, review and observe the server warnings and cautions.
Power up the server
The Apollo n2000 Gen10 Plus series 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 5.
•
Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
When the server goes from standby mode to full power mode, the server power LED changes from amber to green.
Power down the server
Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical server data and
programs.
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 5.
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.
Power capping
Server power capping is useful when you want to hold the actual used system power to a specific amount. This amount might
be lower than what the system configuration might maximally use. The power capping feature in this server operates at the
server enclosure (chassis) level.
To configure power capping, use one of the following tools:
HPE Apollo Platform Manager (HPE APM)
HPE Apollo Platform Manager is a rack-level device that can control power caps for all enclosures installed in a rack. Power
capping functionality is configured using the APM GUI and the Redfish API-conformant APM RESTful API.
