CAUTION: If the server is expected to remain in standby mode for more than 30 minutes, HP
recommends completely removing AC power from the server. You can do this by switching off the
circuit breakers that are part of the building installation, disconnecting or switching off a power
distribution unit, or by physically removing the power cords from the server.
Be aware that removing AC power from the server for an extended period can drain the system
battery.
NOTE: If the power restore feature is set to Always On through the iLO 3 MP PR command, the
server automatically powers on to the full power state when the power cord is plugged in to the
server.
Figure 6 (page 15) shows the ports and power supplies located on the rear panel of the server.
Applying standby power to the server
1. Plug the power cord into the receptacle in power supply.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC outlet.
NOTE: The LED on the power supply does not illuminate in the standby power state. The
LED is green when the server is powered on to full power.
If the power restore feature is set to Always On through the iLO 3 MP PR command, the server
automatically powers on to the full power state when the power cord is plugged into the server.
3. If the server has two power supplies, plug the second power cord into the power supply.
4. Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC outlet.
Connecting to the LAN
The server has four LAN ports that provide network connectivity. Figure 6 (page 15) shows the
available LAN ports for the server.
1. Obtain valid IP addresses for each LAN port you plan to activate.
2. Connect the LAN cable from an available LAN port into a live connection on the network.
