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
(also called the baseboard management controller) is shut down; however, the
server can respond to requests from 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 not turned on.
Turning on the server

power-control button becomes active, and one or more fans might start running to
provide cooling while the server is connected to power. You can turn on the server
and start the operating system by pressing the power-control button.

v If a power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart
