Power button functions

The following section describes the different functions of the power button on your PowerEdge FX2/FX2s enclosure.

Chassis power button and chassis power button LED
The chassis power button is used to control power to the chassis and the sleds. The chassis power button LED indicates the status of power to the chassis and the sleds:
  • If the LED is OFF, power to the chassis and the sleds is turned off.
  • If the LED is ON, power to the chassis and the sleds in turned on.
Powering on the chassis and sleds
Press the chassis power button and the chassis power button LED changes from OFF to ON. If pressing the chassis power button does not change the power button LED from OFF to ON, see the troubleshooting section.
Powering off the chassis and sleds
For a graceful shutdown of all the sleds and the chassis, press and hold the chassis power button for 4 to 10 seconds and release it.
NOTE: Depending on the status of the sleds, graceful shutdown may not be possible. You may opt for a forced shutdown by pressing and holding the chassis power button for more than 10 seconds.
