Setting Power Control

The Power Control screen appears showing a drop-down list of various power- off and restart options: Force Power Off, Reset, Graceful Shutdown, Boot Option: BIOS Setup, Boot Option: PC Check, and NMI.

2.Select power option you want and click Save.

For example, select Boot Option: BIOS Setup to reboot the system and enter the BIOS.

Resetting the Service Processor

The baseboard management controller holds the original default settings of the service processor. In the event of system lock-up or panic you can reset the SP to its original state.

To Reset the Service Processor

1.From the main menu click the Maintenance tab. The Maintenance submenus appear.

2.Click the Reset SP submenu tab. The Reset SP screen appears.

Note – Resetting the SP is a hard reset. Because you are logged in to the web-based interface when the SP is reset, the interface will become inactive.
