Switching Off the BladeManager | Cyclades AlterPath BladeManager

BladeManager Power Features

•If your operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature, the Wake on LAN feature can switch on the BladeManager.

Note: When 4 GB or more memory (physical or logical) is installed, some memory is reserved for various system resources and is unavailable to the operating system. The amount of memory that is reserved for system resources depends on the operating system, the BladeManager configuration, and the configured PCI options.

Switching Off the BladeManager

When you switch off the BladeManager and leave it connected to AC power, the BladeManager can respond to requests from the Service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the server. To remove all power from the server, you must disconnect it form the power source.

Caution: The power control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.

You can switch off the BladeManager in any of the following ways:

•You can switch off the BladeManager from the operating system if your operating system supports this feature. After an orderly shutdown of the operating system, BladeManager will switch off automatically.

•You can press the power-control button to start an orderly shutdown of the operating system and switch off the BladeManager if your operating system supports this feature.

•If the operating system stops functioning, you can press and hold the power-control button for more than 4 seconds to switch off the BladeManager.

•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 off from the Remote Supervisor Adapter II user interface.

•If an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II is installed in the server, the server can be switched off from the Remote Supervisor Adapter II user interface.
