You can use the IBM® Systems Director Management Console (SDMC) to start the system or virtual server after the required cables are installed and the power cables are connected to a power source.
For instructions on working with the SDMC, see Managing and configuring the SDMC. For instructions on starting a virtual server, see Managing virtual servers. For instructions on shutting down and restarting virtual servers, see Shutting down and restarting virtual servers.
Progress indicators, also known as checkpoints, display on the control panel while the system is being started. When the power-on light on the control panel stops flashing and remains on, the system power is on.
