Server power features

When you connect the server to an ac po wer source, the server goes into Standby mode. After appro x imate ly 20 se conds, the power-control button becomes active, and you can turn on the server and start the operating system by pressing the powercontrol button. The following section describes other ways in which th e server can be turned on.

A power-control-b utton shield comes with y our server. You can install this disk-shaped shield to prevent the server from being turned off accidentally.

Turning on the server: After the server is connected to an ac power source, it

can be turned on in any of the following ways:

• You can press the power-control button.

• If a power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart automatically when power is restored.

• If your operating system supports the system-management software for an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter, the system-management software can turn on the server.

• If your operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature, the Wake on LAN feature can turn on the ser ver.
