NOTE
The HP Netserver’s power management policies (transitions between various power
states) and the user options are specific to the particular ACPI-compliant NOS
installed on the Netserver. If your respective NOS is ACPI-compliant, refer to the
power management features in the instructions provided for more information.
The HP Netserver’s power button can be configured to initiate a sleep state (Sleep button), a “soft off”, or
graceful shutdown of the NOS, rather than an immediate shutdown of the power supply. The power button
configurations are dependent on the user interface provided by the ACPI-compliant NOS. While power
management is under the control of the ACPI-compliant NOS, the HP Netserver’s power button is capable of
an override in case of a non-responsive NOS.
NOTE
The HP Netserver power button will force a power down without waiting for the NOS
to gracefully shut down the Netserver, if the power button is pressed and held in
excess of four seconds.
CAUTION
If the power button override is used, there is a strong possibility of corrupted or lost
data.
