Power on the server
The server can be turned on (power LED on) in any of the following ways:
• Press the power button. Before the operating system starts running, you can press Enter to enter Startup
Interrupt Menu. In this menu, a few options are available for various purposes:
– Press Esc to resume to normal startup.
– Press F1 to enter the Setup Utility.
– Press F10 to diagnose hardware.
– Press F11 to choose a temporary startup device.
– Press Ctrl + P to enter the Management Engine setup screen or initiate a remote connection.
– Press Enter to pause.
• The server can restart automatically after a power interruption.
Note: If the boot screen lingers with the message of “System Security - The system has been tempered
with,” it means the server cover is not properly installed. Remove and reinstall it (see “Remove the server
cover” on page 49 and “Install the server cover” on page 92); then, restart the server.
For information about powering off the server, see “Power off the server” on page 99.
Validate server setup
After powering up the server, make sure that the LEDs are lit and that they are white.
Power off the server
The server remains in a standby state when it is connected to a power source. To remove all power from the
server (power-on LED off), you must disconnect all power cables.
To place the server in a standby state (power-on LED flashes once per second):
• Start an orderly shutdown using the operating system (if supported by your operating system).
• Press the power-on 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.
