Power States

The server has three power states:

•Standby power

•Full power

•Off

Plug the power cord into the appropriate receptacle on the rear of the chassis to achieve the standby power state; the front panel power button is not turned on. Full power occurs when the power cord is plugged into the appropriate receptacle, and either the power is activated through the iLO MP PC command, or the power button is activated. In the off state, the power cords are not plugged in. Table 3-1lists the server power states.
