  Note - For CMM only, click the radio button adjacent to the chassis device listed in the Remote Power Control table.
2. To set the power state on a managed device, select one of the following options:
  - Reset – This SP-specific option power-cycles the managed server, while keeping power applied to system components (such as disk drives and so on).
  - Graceful Reset – This SPARC SP specific option gracefully shuts down the host OS prior to power-cycling the managed SPARC server.
  - Immediate Power Off – This option immediately powers off the managed device.
  - Graceful Shutdown and Power Off – This option gracefully powers down the OS prior to powering off the managed device.
  - Power On (default setting) – This option applies full power to the managed device.
