• If you turn off the blade using the power button
and the blade is running an ACPI-compliant
operating system, the blade can perform an orderly
shutdown before the power is turned off.

operating system, power is turned off immediately
after the power button is pressed.

immediately.

disabled, you can only use the power button to turn
on the blade. The blade can then only be shut down
using system management software.)
