Chapter 2. Power, controls and indicators
This chapter describes the power features, how to turn on and turn off the blade server,
and what the controls and indicators mean. This chapter also identifies the system-board
connectors.
2.1 Turning on the blade server
After you connect the BL465 to power through the Blade chassis, the blade server can be
started in any of the following ways:
• You can press the power-control button on the front of the BL465 (see Blade server
controls and LEDs on page 16) to start the blade server. The power button works only
if local power control is enabled for the blade server. Local power control is enabled
and disabled through the advanced management module web interface.
Notes
• Wait until the power-on LED on the BL465 flashes slowly before you
press the power button. While the service processor in the blade server
is initializing and synchronizing with the management module, the
power-on LED flashes rapidly, and the power-control button on the
blade server does not respond. This process can take approximately 90
seconds after the blade server has been installed.
•
While the blade server is starting, the power LED on the front of the
blade server is lit and does not flash. See Blade server controls and
LEDs on page 16 for the power-on LED states.
•
If a power failure occurs, the Blade chassis and the blade server can be configured to
start automatically when power is restored through the management module.
•
You can turn on the BL465 through the advanced management module Web interface.
For more information about the advanced management module Web interface, see the
Bull Management Module User’s Guide .
•
You can turn on the BL465 through the Wake on LAN feature. The blade server must
be connected to power (the power-on LED is flashing slowly), the blade server must be
communicating with the advanced management module, the operating system must
support the Wake on LAN feature, and the Wake on LAN feature must be enabled
through the advanced management module interface.
Note Procedure to enable the Wake on LAN feature varies depending on the network device.
Refer to the documentation that is provided for your network device for more information.
