3-2 Compaq ProLiant 8500 Servers Setup and Installation Guide System Power The system power in the ProLiant 8500 Server does not shut off completely with the front panel Power On/Standby switch. The two modes of the power switch are ON and STANDBY, rather than ON and OFF. The STANDBY position removes power from most of the electronics and the drives, but portions of the power supply, the Integrated Management Display (IMD), the system interlock circuitry and some internal circuitry remain active. To remove all power from the system completely, you must disconnect all power cords from the server. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment: s Disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cords from the power supplies. s Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. s Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times. CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure. See Appendix B, "Electrostatic Discharge," for more information.

Compaq ProLiant 8500 Servers Setup and Installation Guide
System Power
The system power in the ProLiant 8500 Server does not shut off completely
with the front panel Power On/Standby switch. The two modes of the power
switch are ON and STANDBY, rather than ON and OFF. The STANDBY
position removes power from most of the electronics and the drives, but
portions of the power supply, the Integrated Management Display (IMD), the
system interlock circuitry and some internal circuitry remain active.
To remove all power from the system completely, you must disconnect all
power cords from the server.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
■
Disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cords from the
power supplies.
■
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an
important safety feature.
■
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure
you are properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure. See
Appendix B, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for more information.
