Standby mode Standby mode refers to the condition in which the server is connected to an ac power source but the server operating system is not running and all core logic is shut down except for the service processor. In Standby mode, the server can respond to service processor requests, such as a remote request to turn on the server. When the server is in Standby mode, the power-on LED on the front of the server flashes (when the server is running, the power-on LED stays on and does not flash). You can put the server in Standby mode in any of the following ways: v You can press the power-control button on the server. This starts an orderly shutdown of the operating system, if this feature is supported by your operating system. v If the server is connected to an ASM interconnect network that contains at least one system with an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter installed, the server can be placed in Standby mode from the Remote Supervisor Adapter user interface. v If an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter is installed in the server, the server can be placed in Standby mode from the Remote Supervisor Adapter user interface. Attention: You must disconnect all the server power cords from the electrical outlets to remove all power from the server. Complete the following steps to put the server into Standby mode: 1. See the operating system documentation for the proper procedure to shut down the operating system. Note: Each operating system is different. Read all the documentation about shutting down the operating system before continuing. 2. Press the power-control button on the front of the server. Notes: a. After you place the server in Standby mode, wait at least 5 seconds before you turn on the server again. b. You might need to press and hold the power-control button for more than 4 seconds to cause an immediate shutdown of the operating system and to force it into Standby mode. You can use this feature if the operating system stops functioning. The ISMP can put the server in Standby mode as an automatic response to a critical system failure. You can also put the server into Standby mode remotely by means of an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter or through connection to an ASM interconnect network. 14 IBM xSeries 235 Type 8671: User's Guide

Standby
mode
Standby
mode
refers
to
the
condition
in
which
the
server
is
connected
to
an
ac
power
source
but
the
server
operating
system
is
not
running
and
all
core
logic
is
shut
down
except
for
the
service
processor.
In
Standby
mode,
the
server
can
respond
to
service
processor
requests,
such
as
a
remote
request
to
turn
on
the
server.
When
the
server
is
in
Standby
mode,
the
power-on
LED
on
the
front
of
the
server
flashes
(when
the
server
is
running,
the
power-on
LED
stays
on
and
does
not
flash).
You
can
put
the
server
in
Standby
mode
in
any
of
the
following
ways:
v
You
can
press
the
power-control
button
on
the
server.
This
starts
an
orderly
shutdown
of
the
operating
system,
if
this
feature
is
supported
by
your
operating
system.
v
If
the
server
is
connected
to
an
ASM
interconnect
network
that
contains
at
least
one
system
with
an
optional
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
installed,
the
server
can
be
placed
in
Standby
mode
from
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
user
interface.
v
If
an
optional
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
is
installed
in
the
server,
the
server
can
be
placed
in
Standby
mode
from
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
user
interface.
Attention:
You
must
disconnect
all
the
server
power
cords
from
the
electrical
outlets
to
remove
all
power
from
the
server.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
put
the
server
into
Standby
mode:
1.
See
the
operating
system
documentation
for
the
proper
procedure
to
shut
down
the
operating
system.
Note:
Each
operating
system
is
different.
Read
all
the
documentation
about
shutting
down
the
operating
system
before
continuing.
2.
Press
the
power-control
button
on
the
front
of
the
server.
Notes:
a.
After
you
place
the
server
in
Standby
mode,
wait
at
least
5
seconds
before
you
turn
on
the
server
again.
b.
You
might
need
to
press
and
hold
the
power-control
button
for
more
than
4
seconds
to
cause
an
immediate
shutdown
of
the
operating
system
and
to
force
it
into
Standby
mode.
You
can
use
this
feature
if
the
operating
system
stops
functioning.
The
ISMP
can
put
the
server
in
Standby
mode
as
an
automatic
response
to
a
critical
system
failure.
You
can
also
put
the
server
into
Standby
mode
remotely
by
means
of
an
optional
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
or
through
connection
to
an
ASM
interconnect
network.
