2 Starting Up and Shutting Down the Server
Plugging the Server into AC Power
When the server is plugged into the AC power, the server will power cycle after a 30-second delay.
This is required to initialize the Out Of Band functionality of the BMC. Once the server completed
the power cycle, the server can be powered on using the power button on the front control panel.
NOTE
When installing a new Intel
server firmware. The firmware is updated after the server is powered on. Using incorrect BMC
firmware may affect operation of the front control panel's power button.
Powering On the Server
To power on the server, press the power button on the front control panel. Pressing this button
causes the server fans to start and POST to begin running.
