How to Apply Full Power to a Server Module Node

• Each node is powered on separately.

• The method described here requires you to be physically at the server. Alternatively, you can log into each node’s ILOM and power-on the node remotely.

1. Verify that the OK/Power LED on the front panel of the server module is in a standby blink state.

   The green OK/Power LEDs on each node blinks briefly once every 3 seconds indicating that the node is in standby power mode. See Server Module Front Panel and Indicators.

2. Press and release the recessed Power button on the server module front panel for the node to be powered on.

   During power-on, you will see the server module front panel indicators illuminate as follows:

   • The node's green OK/Power LED slowly blinks. This indicates that the node is booting (0.5 seconds on, 0.5 seconds off).

   • The node's green OK/Power LED illuminates a steady-on green light. This indicates that the boot cycle is complete and the node is ready.

3. The front panel OK/Power LED for a server module node illuminates a steady-on green to indicate that the node has successfully powered on.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to power on the second node.
