Figure 45 Power Control Overview
Internal Power Control via ATX wires
The power button is the representation of the ATX power button on your host
system. It is used to switch on and off the power supply. The ATX power button
knows two operation modes: pressing it shortly and pressing it for about 4 seconds.
Short Press
A short press on the ATX button is normally caught by the running operating
system that tries to initiate a controlled shutdown.
Usually this should always be the first action you try in case you would like to
power off your system. Only in case this is not working you should try the
long press button.
Please note that after you have pressed this button the power state displayed
in the administration panel will not immediately reflect the requested change.
A controlled shut down of the system may take some minutes. You can
observe the action caused by your button press using the Remote Console
window or by reloading the Server Power Control panel.
Long Press
This will unconditionally power off the system. Even if you have submitted a
short press before, this will shut down the power supply of the host system.
The effect of the long button press can be immediately observed on the panel
that is loaded into the browser because of the button press. The power state
will be off.
R eset
Pressing this button is similar to pressing the Reset button directly on the
remote system. Be aware that pressing the Reset button will result in an
unconditional and immediate cold start of the system. This might damage
open files and the file system itself.
