358 Power Management
Executing Power Control Operations on the Chassis
NOTE: To perform power management actions, you must have Chassis
Configuration Administrator privilege.
NOTE: Power control operations affect the entire chassis. For power control
operations on an IOM, see "Executing Power Control Operations on an IOM" on
page 359. For power control operations on servers, see "Executing Power Control
Operations on a Server" on page 360.
CMC enables you to remotely perform several power management actions,
such as an orderly shutdown, on the entire chassis (chassis, servers, IOMs,
iKVM, and PSUs).
Using the Web Interface
To execute power control operations on the Chassis using the CMC Web
interface:
1
Log in to the CMC Web interface.
2 Select Chassis Overview in the system tree.
3 Click the Power tab.
The
Power Consumption Status page displays.
4 Click the Control subtab. The Chassis Power Control page displays.
5 Click the corresponding radio buttons to select one of the following Power
Control Operations
:
•
Power On System — Turns on the chassis power (the equivalent
of pressing the power button when the chassis power is
OFF ).
This option is disabled if the chassis is already powered
ON .
NOTE: This action powers on the chassis and other subsystems (iDRAC on
the servers, IOMs, and iKVM). Servers do not power on.
• Power Off System — Turns off the chassis power. This option is
disabled if the chassis is already powered
OFF .
NOTE: This action powers off the chassis (chassis, servers, IOMs, iKVM, and
power supplies). CMCs remain powered on, but in virtual standby state;
a power supply unit and fans provide cooling for CMCs in this state.
The power supply also provides power to the fans that run at low speed.
