Power-on indicator/

power button

The power-on indicator lights when the

sled power is on. The power-on indicator

lights amber when the system critical

event occurs.

NOTE:

The power-on indicator lights amber

according to critical system error log (SEL)

assertion. If the SEL is full or a deassertion

event occurred while sensor monitoring is

paused (e.g. fan monitoring is paused during

system power off), the power-on indicator

turns amber. To turn off an amber LED and

reset the power-on indicator to normal

condition (solid green), either perform a

BMC cold reset or reseat the sled in the

server enclosure.
The power button turns the compute

sled on.

NOTES:

• When powering on the sled, the video

monitor can take from several seconds to

over 2 minutes to display an image,

depending on the amount of memory

installed in the system.

• On ACPI-compliant operating systems,

turning off the sled using the power

button causes the sled to perform a

graceful shutdown before power to the

sled is turned off.

• To force an ungraceful shutdown, press

and hold the power button for five

seconds.
