Keyswitch Setting Icon Description

Power-On/Off

Locked

Standby

This setting enables the system’s Power button to power on, or to power off, the system. If the system hangs, holding the Power button down for five seconds while the keyswitch is in this positon will cause an immediate hardware power off.

This setting disables the system’s Power button, and also locks the front doors preventing access to the disk drives and to the power supplies.

The Locked position is the recommended setting for normal day-to-day operation of the system.

This setting places the system in Standby mode by turning off power to all internal system components and by placing the power supplies in Standby mode. When the keyswitch is in this position the server’s Power button is disabled.
