Power up the server blade
The enclosure 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 2.
•
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 green.
For more information about the enclosure, see the enclosure setup and installation guide on the HP

Power down the server blade
Before powering down the server blade for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup
of critical server data and programs.
Depending on the enclosure configuration, use one of the following methods to power down the server
blade:
•
Use a virtual power button selection through iLO 2.
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server
blade enters standby mode.
•
Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
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
shut down.
This method forces the server blade to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and
the OS. It provides an emergency shutdown method in the event of a hung application.
IMPORTANT:
When the server blade is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being
provided. To remove all power from the server blade, remove the server blade from the
enclosure.
After initiating a virtual power down command, be sure that the server blade goes into standby mode by
observing that the system power LED is amber.
