Power, Controls, Jumpers,
Switches, and Indicators
This chapter describes the power features, how to turn on and turn off the blade server,
what the controls and indicators mean, and where the system board jumpers and switches
are located and how to use them.
Turning on the Blade Server
After you connect the blade server to power through the Intel® Blade Server Chassis
SBCE, the blade server can start in any of the following ways:
•
You can press the power-control button on the front of the blade server (behind the
control panel door) to start the blade server.
Notes:
— Wait until the power-on LED on the blade server flashes slowly before pressing
the blade server power-control button. During this time, the service processor in
the management module is initializing; therefore, the power-control button on the
blade server does not respond.
— While the blade server is powering-up, the power-on LED on the front of the
server is lit.
•
If a power failure occurs, the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE and then the blade
server can start automatically when power is restored (if the blade server is configured
through the management module to do so).
•
You can turn on the blade server remotely by means of the service processor in the
management module.
•
If the operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature and the blade server
power-on LED is flashing slowly, the Wake on LAN feature can turn on the blade
server, if the Wake on LAN feature has not been disabled through the management-
module Web interface.
Turning off the Blade Server
When you turn off the blade server, it is still connected to power through the Intel® Blade
Server Chassis SBCE. The blade server can respond to requests from the service
processor, such as a remote request to turn on the blade server. To remove all power from
the blade server, you must remove it from the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE.
Shut down the operating system before you turn off the blade server. See the operating-
system documentation for information about shutting down the operating system.
