Operations
Power up the server blade
The OA initiates an automatic power-up sequence when the server blade is installed. If the default setting
is changed, use one of the following methods to power up the server blade:
• Use a virtual power button selection through iLO.
• Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
When the server blade goes from the standby mode to the full power mode, the system power LED
changes from amber to solid green. The health LED flashes green when the Power On/Standby Button
service is being initialized. For more information about the system power LED status, see
LEDs and buttons on page 7.
For more information about the OA, see the OA setup and installation guide on the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website.
Power down the server blade
Procedure
• Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
Front panel
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server blade enters
standby mode.
• Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server blade to
enter standby mode.
This method forces the server blade to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and
the OS. If an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.
• Use a virtual power button selection through iLO.
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server blade
enters standby mode.
• Use the OA CLI to execute one of the following commands:
◦ poweroff server [bay number]
This command initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server blade
enters standby mode.
◦ poweroff server [bay number] force
This form of the command forces the server blade to enter standby mode without properly exiting
applications and the OS. If an application stops responding, this method forces a shutdown.
• Use the OA GUI to initiate a shutdown:
1. Select the Enclosure Information tab.
2. In the Device Bays item, select the server.
3. From the Virtual Power menu, initiate a shutdown of applications and the OS:
Operations 21
◦ For a controlled shutdown, select Momentary Press.
◦ For an emergency shutdown, select Press and Hold.
Before proceeding, verify that the server blade is in standby mode by observing that the system power
LED is amber.
