PE R710 standby mode
Greetings! Recently bought R710 and still dont have the setup to have it run 24/7 so server spends sometime being turned off but plugged to power and networking. I noticed even then, system is pulling 26W, have PSU2 fan running on low rpm and network lights up. Is that normal because it looks kind of a lot of power even a fan running. I expected couple of watts for the iDRAC Enterprise and thats it. I dont remember seeing WOL in BIOS so I don't know why the networking is running. iDRAC is set to dedicated port.
No Events found!

Hello
Yes, that sounds normal. There are components that are powered even when the system is turned off. The power subsystem has to be functional to provide power to those components, so a lot of the system hardware is powered even when the system is not powered on.
