Server power features
When the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on, the
operating system does not run, and all core logic except for the service processor
(the integrated management module) is shut down; however, the server can
respond to requests to the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on
the server. The power-on LED flashes to indicate that the server is connected to ac
power but is not turned on.
Turning on the server
Approximately 5 seconds after the server is connected to ac power, one or more
fans might start running to provide cooling while the server is connected to power
and the power-on button LED flashes quickly. Approximately 1 to 3 minutes after
the server is connected to ac power, the power-control button becomes active (the
power-on LED flashes slowly). You can turn on the server by pressing the
power-control button.
The server can also be turned on in any of the following ways:
This green LED provides status information about the power supply. During
typical operation, both the ac and dc power LEDs are lit. For any other
