Pre-Standby Phase: This phase is entered when the server is connected to a

when the Power-On Self-Tests (POSTs) and configurations tasks are completed.
The Pre-Standby phase components are:
Service Processor Initialization - Service Processor performs any necessary
hardware and software initializations.
Service Processor POST - Service Processor conducts Power-On Self-Tests on
its various work and code areas.
Service Processor Unattended Start Mode Checks - To assist fault recovery. If
unattended start mode is set, the Service Processor automatically reboots the
server. Service Processor does not wait for user input or power-on command,
but moves through the phase and into the Bring-Up Phase. Access SMS menus
or Service Processor menus to reset the unattended start mode.
