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 integrated
management module II (IMM2) is shutdown; however, the server can respond to
requests from IMM2, 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
Note: Approximately 1 to 3 minutes after the server is connected to ac power, the
power-control button becomes active after the power-on LED flashes slowly.
The server can also be turned on in any of the following ways:
v If a power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart
v If your operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature, the Wake on LAN
This green LED provides status information about the power supply. During
typical operation, both the ac and dc power LEDs are lit.

When this yellow LED is lit, it indicates that the power supply has failed.
Connect a 9-pin serial device to this connector. The serial port is shared
with the integrated management module II (IMM2). The IMM2 can take
control of the shared serial port to redirect serial traffic, using Serial over
LAN (SOL).
Connect a monitor to this connector.
Connect USB devices to these connectors.
Press this button to force a nonmaskable interrupt to the microprocessor. It
allows you to blue screen the server and take a memory dump (use this
button only when directed by the IBM service support). You might have to
use a pen or the end of a straightened paper clip to press the button.
Use either of these connectors to connect the server to a network. When
you use the Ethernet 0 connector, the network can be shared with the
IMM2 through a single network cable.
