Table 1: Blade Server LEDs
DescriptionColorLED
Power off.OffPower
Main power state. Power is supplied to all server components in
normal operation.
Green
Standby power state. Power is supplied only to the service processor
(BMC) of the server so that the server can still be managed.
If you press and release the front-panel power button, the
server performs an orderly shutdown of the 12 V main
power and goes to standby power state. You cannot shut
down standby power from the front-panel power button.
See the Cisco UCS Manager Configuration Guide for your
release for information about completely powering off the
server from the software interface.
