Power on and power off the server
Follow the instructions in this section to power on and power off the server.
Power on the server
After the server performs a short self-test (power status LED flashes quickly) when connected to input power, 
it enters a standby state (power status LED flashes once per second).
Power button location and power LED are specified in: 
• 
Chapter 2 “Server components” on page 13
•  “Troubleshooting by system LEDs and diagnostics display” on page 186
The server can be turned on (power LED on) in any of the following ways: 
•  You can press the power button.
•  The server can restart automatically after a power interruption.
•  The server can respond to remote power-on requests sent to the Lenovo XClarity Controller.
For information about powering off the server, see 
“Power off the server” on page 44.
Power off the server
The server remains in a standby state when it is connected to a power source, allowing the Lenovo XClarity 
Controller to respond to remote power-on requests. To remove all power from the server (power status LED 
off), you must disconnect all power cables.
Power button location and power LED are specified in: 
•  Chapter 2 “Server components” on page 13
•  “Troubleshooting by system LEDs and diagnostics display” on page 186
To place the server in a standby state (power status LED flashes once per second): 
Note: The Lenovo XClarity Controller can place the server in a standby state as an automatic response to a 
critical system failure.
•  Start an orderly shutdown using the operating system (if supported by your operating system).
•  Press the power button to start an orderly shutdown (if supported by your operating system).
•  Press and hold the power button for more than 4 seconds to force a shutdown.
When in a standby state, the server can respond to remote power-on requests sent to the Lenovo XClarity 
Controller. For information about powering on the server, see
