Chapter 1. General information 7

vYou can remove all power from the computer by disconnecting the server from
the ac power source.
Standby mode
When the server is connected to an ac power source but has not been turned on, it
is in Standby mode. When the server is in Standby mode, the operating system is
not running, and all core logic except for the service processor is shut down. The
power-on LED flashes to indicate that the server is in Standby mode. The server
can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote request to
turn on the server.
