Power Control Options

The server supports the following power control actions.

Power Control Action
Description
Graceful shutdown
Graceful shutdown allows ACPI-enabled operating systems to perform an orderly shutdown. Servers not running ACPI-enabled operating systems might ignore this event and fail to shut down.
Once the shutdown is completed, the green OK status indicator on the front panel blinks to indicate that the server is in Standby power mode.
Immediate power off
Immediate shutdown abruptly closes all applications and files without saving changes.
Once the shutdown is completed, the green OK status indicator on the front panel blinks to indicate that the server is in Standby power mode.
Reset
Reset causes the server to reboot, while power remains applied to system components (such as disk drives).
Power cycle
Power cycle removes power from all system components, and then reverts the server to Full power mode.
Power on
Power on causes the server to enter Full power mode.
