Turning on the memory expansion module

The memory expansion module is controlled by the server. Turning on the memory
expansion module refers to connecting the memory expansion module power cord
to the power source and pressing the power-control button on the host server. The
host server must be connected to the memory expansion module and configured to
identify the memory expansion module. Normally, when the operating system on
the server starts, the server issues a power-on request to the memory expansion
module.
