Table 5.2: Remote reset and power button effects
Button Description
Reset Pressing this button is similar to pressing the reset button
directly on the remote system (see Figure
5.11 on the preceding
page). Be aware that pressing the reset button will result in
unconditional and immediate cold start of the system. This
might damage open files and the file system itself.
Power (short press) A short press on the ATX button is normally caught by the
running operating system that tries to initiate a controlled
shutdown.
Usually this should always be the first action you try in case
you would like to power off your system. Only in case this is
not working you should try the long press button.
Please note that after you have pressed this button the power
state displayed in the administration panel won’t immediately
reflect the requested change. A controlled shut down of the
system may take up to some minutes. You can observe the
action caused by your button press using the Remote Console
window or by reloading the Server Power Control panel.
Power (long press) This will unconditionally power off the system. Even if you
have submitted a short press before, this will shut down the
power supply of the host system.
The effect of the long button press can be immediately ob-
served on the panel that is loaded into the browser because of
the button press. The power state will be off.
Note: The prerequisite for the remote power/reset button to work is a correct installation
of RAS-PutIn. The additional cabling as described in Section
3.3.3 on page 13 must be
properly connected.
External power option
If an external power option is enabled the power control will look like shown in Figure 5.12 .
