Blade power
button

N/A

Turns blade power off and on.

• 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.

• If the blade is not running an ACPI-compliant

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

• Press and hold the button to turn off the blade

immediately.

The blade power button is enabled by default by the
System Setup program.(If the power button option is
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.)

USB connector

Connects external USB 2.0 devices to the blade.
