Power up the workstation blade

installed. If the default setting is changed, use one of the following methods to power up the workstation
blade:
•
Use a virtual power button selection through iLO 4.
•
Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
When the workstation blade goes from the standby mode to the full power mode, the system power LED
changes from amber to solid green. The health status LED bar flashes green when the Power On/Standby
Button service is being initialized. For more information about the system power LED status, see "Front panel
