IBM B50 Enabling Automatic Power-Up

Enabling Automatic Power-Up
Before you begin:
Read “Safety Considerations” on page 4-2 and “Handling Static Sensitive
Devices” on page 4-3.
Remove the server cover (see “Removing the Cover” on page 4-4).
Your server can be set to automatically turn on as soon as AC power is applied.
This allows unattended restart after AC power has been interrupted by a power
outage, for example.
When the automatic power-up capability is enabled, the server turns on as soon as
AC power is applied, even if the server was not turned on before the interruption.
Your server arrives from the factory with the automatic power-up feature disabled.
Note: If the power-on password is set, then the server still turns on but does not
boot unless the Remote Mode is enabled. To set the power-on password
and Remote Mode, see Chapter 3, “Using System Management Services.”
To enable the automatic power-up feature, do the following:
