System Power
ftServer 2600, 4500, and 6300 systems have one power button (see Figure 1-2)
located on the system front panel. You press this button to start the system.
Pressing the Power Button (Windows and Linux Systems)
The system power button functions as follows:
• If the system power is off and standby power is on, pressing the power button turns
the system on and boots the operating system.
• If the system power is on and the operating system or BIOS is starting, stopping,
or running, pressing the power button momentarily initiates an orderly system
shutdown. (Standby power remains on.)
• If the operating system hangs or a hardware failure occurs, pressing the power
button for several seconds shuts down the system power. (Standby power remains
on.)
If you do not want to risk the loss of data that might occur
from this action, you can attempt less-drastic actions to
restart the system. The
Stratus ftServer Virtual Technician
Module User’s Guide
(R642) describes how to perform
these actions.
Starting Up the System
Make sure the system power cords are plugged into a live power source.
When a Windows Server 2008 system boots, a blank
screen displays for up to two and a half minutes before the
operating system load bars appear. The system can take
five minutes or more to boot.
To boot a system and start the operating system
1. Turn on the monitor and any other peripheral devices.
2. Press the power button on the bottom of the system front panel (see item 11 in
Figure 1-2).
