Standby mode:
When the server is connected to an ac power source but has not
been turned on, it is in Standby mode. When the server is in Standby mode, the
operating system is not running, and all core logic except for the service processor is
shut down. The power-on LED flashes to indicate that the server is in Standby mode.
The server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote
request to turn on the server.
To put the server into Standby mode when the server is turned on, shut down the
operating system (see your operating-system documentation), and press the power-
control button.
You can also put the server into Standby mode through a request from the service
processor.
