Operation Manual

Power On
When you connect the system to a power supply and the Power switch is in the On position or the system
recovers from a power outage and the Power switch is in the On position, the following occurs:
• The system automatically powers on if you enabled the Wake on LAN (WoL) feature or scheduled the
system to automatically power on or off.
• The system returns to its last state if the Wake on LAN (WoL) feature is disabled and you did not schedule
the system to automatically power on or off:
- If the system was powered on, the system automatically powers on again when the power supply
is connected or power is restored.
- If the system was powered off, the system remains off when the power supply is connected or power
is restored.
In this situation, press the Power button on the front panel of the system to power on the system.
