Power-On/Off |
This setting enables the system's Power button to turn the system power on or power off. If the system has power, holding the Power button down for five seconds while the keyswitch is in this position will cause an immediate hardware power off. |
|
Locked |
This setting disables the system's Power button, and also locks the front doors preventing access to the disk drives and to the power supplies. The Locked position is the recommended setting for normal day-to-day operation of the system. |
|
Standby |
This setting places the system in Standby mode by turning off power to all internal system components and by placing the power supplies in Standby mode. When the keyswitch is in this position, the keyboard power switch and the server's Power button are disabled. |
