Server power features

When the server is connected to a power source but is not turned on, the operating
system does not run, and all core logic except for the integrated management
module (IMM) is shut down; however, the server can respond to requests from the
IMM, such as a remote request to turn on the server. The power-on LED flashes to
indicate that the server is connected to power but is not turned on.
