BladeManager Power Features

When the BladeManager is connected to an AC power source but is not switched on, the operating system does not run, and all core login except for the service processor is shut down. However, the server can respond to requests from the service processor, 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 not switched on.

Switching On the Server

Approximately 20 seconds after the BladeManager is connected to AC power, the power-control button becomes active, and you can switch on the BladeManager and start the operating system by pressing the power-control button.

You can also switch on the BladeManager in any of the following ways:

If a power failure occurs while the BladeManager is switched on, the BladeManager will start automatically when power is restored.

If the BladeManager is connected to an Advanced System Management interconnect network that contains at least one server with an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II installed, the BladeManager can be switched on form the Remote Supervisor Adapter II user interface.

If your operating system supports the system-management software for an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II, the system-management software can switch on the BladeManager.
