Powering On a Domain
What You Can Do
During the domain power-on sequence, you can:
• View functional status
• View power logs
• View powering sequences
• View BIOS info
• View request logs
• View domain configuration, resources and status
Important:
Certain domain configuration and management tools are reserved for use with partitioned
servers and extended systems. Please contact your Bull Sales Representative for sales
information.
Once connected to the Customer's site power supply, the server initializes to the stand-by
mode and the integrated PAP unit powers up. The server is not equipped with a physical
power button and server domains are powered up from the PAM Domain Manager Control
pane.
Check server functional status via the PAM Status Pane. If functional status is normal and the
CSS Availability bar is green, server domains can be powered up.
Notes:
• When more than one domain is loaded in the Control pane, domains can be powered up
sequentially or simultaneously. See Powering on a Single Domain, on page 3-14 and
Powering On Multiple Domains, on page 3-15.
• Server domains may be powered up even if the server presents a minor fault. See System
Functional Status, on page 4-4. However, you are advised to contact your Customer
Service Engineer so that the fault can be repaired.
