3 Powering Off and Powering On the Server

• Standby power
• Full power

To achieve the standby power state, plug the power cord into the appropriate receptacle on the
rear of the chassis. The front panel power button is not turned on. Full power occurs when the
power cord is plugged into the appropriate receptacle, and either the power is activated through
the iLO MP PC command, or the power button is activated. In the off state, the power cords are
not plugged in.
