Starting the server

After you plug the power cord of your server into the power supply and an electrical outlet, the server can start in any of the following ways:

•You can press the power-control button on the front of the server to start the server.

Notes:

1.You can install a circular disk over the power-control button to prevent accidental manual power-off. This disk, known as the power-control button shield, comes with your server.

2.After you plug the power cord of your server into an electrical outlet, wait approximately 20 seconds before pressing the power-control button. During this time, the system is initializing; therefore, the power-control button does not respond.

•If the server is turned on and a power failure occurs, the server will start automatically when power is restored.

•The Wake on LAN feature will turn on the server at the set time (when a Magic Packet is received), provided that all of the following conditions are met:

— AC power is present.

— The server is either off or shut down from an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) operating system.
