If an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown. • Use a virtual power button selection through iLO 4. This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby mode. Before proceeding, verify the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.
