Integrated Server Power States vs. Service Profile Power States

If the desired power state for a service profile associated with an integrated C-Series server is set to
Down, using the power button or Cisco UCS Manager to reset the server causes the desired power state
of the server to become out of sync with the actual power state and the server may unexpected shut down
at a later time.
To safely reboot a server from a power-down state, use the Boot Server action in Cisco UCS Manager.
The following table shows how the physical server power states can differ from the UCSM service
profile power states when the power button on the server is used.
