8 PowerEdge MX7000 Chassis Power Sequence
2.2 Auto Chassis Power ON
If AC power is lost and later restored, the chassis will recover to the ON or OFF state that it was in prior to AC
power loss. For example, if the chassis was ON prior to AC loss, after AC recovery, the chassis will
automatically power back on. If the chassis was powering ON prior to AC loss (but had not completed power
on), the chassis will power ON after recovery. If the chassis was powering OFF prior to AC loss, then the
chassis will remain OFF when AC is recovered. And, finally, if the chassis was OFF prior to AC loss, the
chassis will remain OFF when AC power is restored.
Individual sleds in the chassis will follow their individual AC loss policy and can be configured individually,
usually through BIOS options on the sled.
