Power On the Server
Power On the Server
The following procedure explains how to power on the server locally using a serial connection
to Oracle ILOM. For more information about powering on the server using other methods, see
“Controlling System Power” on page 159.
The following figure shows the location of the status indicators (LEDs) on the server front
panel.

1.
Connect the grounded power cords to two separate power sources.
The server is equipped with two power supplies. Connect the power supplies to separate power
sources to provide power redundancy. The server can operate with one power source; however,
using only one power source eliminates redundancy.
When the power cords are connected to the server's AC inlets and power sources, the following
actions occur:
■
The green AC OK power supply LEDs light.
■
While the Oracle ILOM SP initializes, the green SP OK LED flashes rapidly.
■
Once the Oracle ILOM SP has fully initialized, the SP OK LED is steady on and the green
Power/OK LED flashes slowly, indicating that the host is in Standby power mode.
In Standby power mode, the server is not initialized or powered on.
2.
Press Enter on the terminal device to create a connection between the serial
console and the Oracle ILOM SP.
The Oracle ILOM Login prompt appears.
