R-Series Data Center Products User’s Guide

When a blade is inserted into a chassis, it takes approximately 30 seconds for the
chassis and its RMM to detect the blade and relay its information to Sentral.

Note that the blue LCD panel and the C/Port indicator remain lit, independently of
whether the blade is powered on. These indicators run off of chassis power. After the
first on/off cycle, you can power the blade back on from the shutdown state by either
pushing the power button on the blade or the Reset/Power button on the C/Port.
