Standby Power
When one or both of the system power cords are connected to live power outlets,
low-level
standby power
is present in the system. Standby power enables the primary
Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) to monitor the status of system
components, even when the system power is off.
Standby power also allows for continuous operation of the VTM ports and the modem
assembly. Therefore, while the system power is off, administrators or, if authorized, the
CAC or your authorized Stratus service representative, can still connect to the system
through the VTM ports to diagnose problems, or to turn system power on and off from
a remote location.
Standby power remains present even after the system
has been powered down. To remove power to the
standby devices, remove the power cords.
