Use this information to turn on the blade server.
After you connect the blade server to power through the BladeCenter® unit, the blade server can
start in any of the following ways:
- You can press the power-control button on the front of the blade
server (see Blade server controls and LEDs)
to start the blade server.
Notes:
- Wait until the power-on LED on the blade server flashes
slowly before you press the power-control button. While the service
processor in the blade server is initializing and synchronizing with
the management module, the power-on LED flashes rapidly, and the power-control
button on the blade server does not respond. This process can take
approximately two minutes after the blade server has been installed.
- While the blade server is starting, the power-on LED
on the front of the blade server is lit and does not flash. See Blade server controls and LEDs for
the power-on LED states.
- If a power failure occurs, the BladeCenter unit
and the blade server can be configured to start automatically when
power is restored through the Advanced Management Module.
- You can turn on the blade server remotely by using the management
module.
- If the blade server is connected to power (the power-on
LED is flashing slowly), the blade server is communicating with the
management module, the operating system supports the Wake
on LAN feature, and the Wake on LAN feature has
not been disabled through the management module, the Wake
on LAN feature can turn on the blade server.
