• Cells—When you power on or off a cell, the ﬁrmware also powers on

or off any I/O chassis attached to the cell.

When specifying a cell, you indicate both the cabinet number and the

slot in which the cell resides.

• I/O Chassis—When you power off an I/O chassis from the service

processor Command menu, the system ﬁrmware resets the cell

attached to the I/O chassis (if the cell located and mapped the I/O

chassis during its cell boot process).

When specifying an I/O chassis, you indicate the cabinet, bay, and

chassis numbers to identify it.

In the following example, the service processor powers off cell 2 in

cabinet 0.
