6 PowerEdge MX7000 Chassis Power Sequence
most of the management interfaces are still initializing. If you look at the front panel LCD, you will see
loading screen like below
2. Chassis OFF state: In the OFF state, the chassis management controller still runs to provide external
user control and management. Chassis can be powered ON either by pressing the chassis power
button on the RCP, or using OpenManage Mobile (OMM) or OpenManage Enterprise Modular
(OME). Note that in the OFF state, some management functions may be limited, for example, if you
remove chassis components and insert new ones, these may not be fully detected and inventoried
until the chassis powers on.
3. Chassis Powering ON state: This states means chassis is powering ON its infrastructure components
(See below for the sequencing of these components)
4. Chassis ON state: The chassis is ON and can be managed fully through the OME GUI, OMM, or
LCD. All of the chassis infrastructure components are ON. Individual Sleds can be ON or OFF in this
state.
5. Chassis Powering OFF state: This states means chassis is in the process of powering OFF all Sleds
and infrastructure components. If the chassis takes too long to power down normally, long press on
the power button can be used to do an immediate, force power down, with a risk of data loss.
