Turning off the system-board tray
When you turn off the system-board tray, it is still connected to power through the
chassis power supply. The system-board tray still can respond to requests from the
service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the system-board tray. To
remove all power from the system-board tray, you must remove the tray from the
chassis.
Shut down the operating system before you turn off the system-board tray. See the
operating-system documentation for information about shutting down the operating
system.
The system-board tray can be turned off in any of the following ways:
v You can press the power-control button on the front of the system-board tray
(see “Operator panel controls, LEDs, connectors, and power” on page 13). This
starts an orderly shutdown of the operating system, if this feature is supported by
the operating system.
v
You can turn off the system-board tray from the operating system, if the operating
system supports this feature. After an orderly shutdown of the operating system,
the system-board tray will be turned off automatically.
v
In an IPMI environment, the system administrator can turn off the system-board
tray by using the BMC IPMI
Chassis Control command.
v If the operating system stops functioning, you can press and hold the
power-control button for more than 4 seconds to turn off the system-board tray.
v

automatically turn off the system-board tray.

to configure the management appliance to turn off the system-board tray. For
additional information, see the documentation for your management appliance.
