Power on the compute node

After the compute node performs a short self-test (power status LED flashes rapidly) when connected to input power, it enters the standby state (power status LED flashes once per second).

A compute node can be turned on (power LED on) in any of the following ways:

• You can press the power button, or

• The compute node can restart automatically after a power interruption, or

• The compute node can respond to remote power-on requests sent to the Cloud Controller.
