Re: Remote power up of System i 520

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

Remember the FSP is an independent device and it powers up and boots, 
when power is applied to the system chassis without any intervention at 
all.  Your HMC connects to that, so in effect, you are connecting to a 
powered up portion of the system.  The FSP, which can control all the 
hardware can then cause the SPCN network to power up all of the chassis 
and devices it is aware of.

While power is has not been restored to the CEC and the expansion 
chassis, the FSP is up and running.
