is
connected
to
an
ac
power
source
but
is
not
turned
on,
the
operating
system
does
not
run,
and
all
core
logic
except
for
the
service
processor
is
shut
down;
however,
the
server
can
respond
to
requests
from
the
service
processor
(also
called
the
baseboard
management
controller),
such
as
a
remote
request
to
turn
on
the
server.
The

is
restored.
v
If
the

is
connected
to
an
Advanced
System
Management
interconnect
network
that
contains
at
least
one
server
with
an
optional
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine
installed,
the
server
can
be
turned
on
from
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine
user
interface.
v
If
your
