v Dual GB Ethernet connectors: Use these connectors to connect the server to an Ethernet network. v Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine Ethernet connector: Use this connector to connect the server to a network for system-management information control. This Ethernet connector is active only when you have installed the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine option. v Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine Ethernet LEDs: These LEDs are located on the Ethernet connector and are at the top left and top right positions. The top left LED is the Ethernet link LED for the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine. When this LED is lit, it indicates that there is an active connection on the Ethernet port. The top right LED is the Ethernet activity LED for the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine. When this LED flashes, it indicates that data is being transmitted or received between the server and a network device. The flashing frequency is proportional to the amount of traffic on the network link. Server power features When the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on, the operating system does not run, and all core logic except for the BMC is shut down; however, the server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the server. The power-on LED flashes to indicate that the server is connected to ac power but is not turned on. Turning on the server When you connect the server to ac power, the power supply fans turn on immediately. Pressing the power-control button lets you turn on the server and start the operating system. The server can also be turned on in any of the following ways: v If a power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart automatically when power is restored. v If your operating system supports the system-management software for the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine option, the system-management software can turn on the server. v If your operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature, the Wake on LAN feature can turn on the server. Turning off the server When you turn off the server and leave it connected to ac power, the power supply fans continue to run and the server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the server. To remove all power from the server, you must disconnect it from the power source. Some operating systems require an orderly shutdown before you turn off the server. See your operating-system documentation for information about shutting down the operating system. Statement 5: Chapter 1. Introducing the xSeries 336 Type 8837 server 13
