Powering On and Powering Off the Server
The Sun Fire X2270 M2 server has two power modes, full-power mode and standby-power mode. In full-power mode, power is supplied to all the server components (for example, CPU modules, hard drives, fans). Full-power mode is the normal operational mode for the server. When the server is in full-power mode, the server boots and the operating system (OS) functions. You achieve full-power mode by pressing the Power button on the front of the server when the server is in standby-power mode. When the server is in full-power mode the Power OK LED is on continuously (does not blink).
Standby-power mode is the non operating mode. That is, the server is in a low-power or powered-down state and is not capable of booting and starting the OS. In standby–power mode, minimum power is supplied only to the components that are required for low—power system management, such as the service processor (SP). You achieve standby-power mode by connecting the server to an AC supply using the AC power cords. To sustain standby-power mode, you must not press the front panel Power button. You can also achieve standby-power mode by powering off the server from full-power mode using one of the methods described in the section, How to Power Off the Server. When the server is in standby-power mode the Power OK LED on the front panel blinks.
