If you removed power from the server during maintenance, use the following procedure to reapply main power for all server components.
Shortly after power is applied to the server, the SP OK indicator blinks as the service processor boots. The SP OK indicator is illuminated solid green when the service processor has successfully booted. After the service processor has booted, the system OK indicator on the front panel begins flashing slowly, indicating that the host is in standby power mode.
When main power is applied to the server, the system OK indicator begins to blink more quickly while the system boots and lights solidly once the operating system boots.
Each time the server powers on, the power-on self-test (POST) can take several minutes to complete.
