Powering Up the HP Blade PC Enclosure
As soon as you connect an AC power cord to a hot-plug power supply on the rear panel, the enclosure
powers up. All blade PCs already installed in the enclosure also power up one at a time in approximately
one-second intervals. Plug in the second power supply for redundancy.
A blade PC installed into a powered enclosure will immediately power up.
Powering Down the HP Blade PC Enclosure
