Controls and Indicators
The most commonly used controls and indicators on the front of the server appear in the following illustration.

Caution The Power Control button on the front of the server does not turn off the electrical current supplied to the server. The server also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the server, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.

The server can be activated in several ways:
- You can turn on the server by pressing the Power Control button on the front of the server.

Note If you have just plugged the power cord of your server into an electrical outlet, you will have to wait approximately 20 seconds before pressing the Power Control button.

- If the server is activated and a power failure occurs, the server will start automatically when power is restored.
- The server can also be powered on by the Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor.

The server can be deactivated as follows:

- You can turn off the server by pressing the Power Control button on the front of the server. Pressing the Power Control button starts an orderly shutdown of the operating system, if this feature is supported by your operating system, and places the server in standby mode.

Note After turning off the server, wait at least 5 seconds before pressing the Power Control button to power the server on again.

- You can press and hold the Power Control button for more than 4 seconds to cause an immediate shutdown of the server and place the server in standby mode. This feature can be used if the operating system hangs.

- You can disconnect the server power cords from the electrical outlets to shut off all power to the server.

Note Wait about 15 seconds after disconnecting the power cord for your system to stop running. Watch for the System Power light on the information LED panel to stop blinking.
