Power States
The server has three power states:
• standby power
• full power
• off
To get to standby power state plug the power cord into the appropriate receptacle on the rear of
the chassis. The front panel Power button is not turned on.
Full power occurs when the power cord is plugged into the appropriate receptacle and either the
power is activated through the iLO 2 MP PC command, or the Power button is activated.
In the off state, the power cords are not plugged in.
Table 9 lists the server power states.
