Power up the server blade

The Onboard Administrator 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 Onboard Administrator, see the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure Setup

and Installation Guide on the documentation CD.
For more information about iLO 2, see "Integrated Lights-Out 2 technology (on page

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 Onboard Administrator 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.
