HP ProLiant BL20p Generation 2 Server Blade Setup and Installation Guide

Installing the Server Blade and Options
Powering Up the Server Blade
To install a server blade in the server blade enclosure, refer to the “Installing a Server
Blade” section in this chapter.
Server blades are set to power up automatically. If you changed this setting, use one
of the following methods to power up the server blade:
• Power On/Standby button
— A momentary press initiates a power-up request. The system detects if power
is available to power on the server blade.
— A long press, 5 or more seconds, initiates a power-up override. The system is
forced to power up the server blade without detecting available power.
CAUTION: Always observe iLO alerts before initiating a power-up override to
prevent a hot-plug power supply fault and possible loss of system power.
NOTE: You may choose to perform a power-up override to power up a server blade and
to override the power-up request function when the management modules are not in use
and when you know that sufficient power is available.
• Virtual power button features through the iLO remote console
— A momentary power-up selection initiates a power-up request. The system
detects if power is available to power up the server blade.
— A hold power-up selection initiates a power-up override. The system is
forced to power up the server blade without detecting available power.
For more information about iLO, refer to Chapter 2, “Configuring and Deploying
Server Blades.”
