● Precaution for the Standby Power Save feature
Do not set Enabled at [Server] - [Power Control Configuration] - [Standby Power Save] setting in BIOS
Setup Utility.
If this setting is Enabled and the OS shuts down the server, the server cannot turn the power on by pressing
POWER Switch.
In that case, disconnect a power code (two codes when installing a redundant power supply unit), wait
30 seconds and connect the power code (two codes when installing a redundant power supply unit) again.
After 60 seconds, the server will start automatically. Run BIOS Setup Utility and change the [Standby
Power Save] to Disabled.

If you install/remove processors or DIMMs, follow the steps below.
1) Run BIOS Setup Utility.
2) Select One Time at [Server] - [Power Measurement Policy].
