• Power Off System – Orderly Shutdown —Gracefully shut down the appliance, and then
disconnect power to the appliance. This option has the same effect as pressing the power
button on the back panel of the appliance for less than four seconds. All operations on the
appliance are stopped, no new connections to the client or server are accepted, and all
existing connections are closed before the appliance shuts down. The BMC continues to
operate normally in this mode to allow the user to remotely power on the appliance. This
option is the same as entering the shutdown command in the appliance shell.
• Power On System —Switch on the appliance. The BMC does not reboot itself during this
operation. This option is the same as pushing the power button.
• Power Cycle System —Switch off the appliance, and then switch it back on. The BMC does
not reboot itself during this operation. This option is the same as pushing the power but-
ton until the unit powers off, and then pushing the power button to power on the unit.

Perform a power cycle of the BMC
A warm restart, cold restart, or a power cycle of the appliance, using the power button, does not in-
clude power cycling the BMC. The BMC runs on standby power directly from the power supply. There-
fore, the state of the power button on the appliance does not affect the BMC. The only way to power
cycle the BMC is to remove all power cords from the appliance for 60 seconds.
Perform power control operations on the BMC by using the appliance shell
When performing either a warm or cold restart of the BMC microcontroller, you cannot communicate
with the LOM port. Both actions restart the BMC but not the main CPU. To perform a warm restart of
LOM from the appliance, type:
