Systems may wake if Remote Supervisor Adapter's (RSA) external power is applied - IBM Servers

Troubleshooting


Problem

When a system is shut down, it can be unexpectedly powered on when an Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) adapter has external power applied.

Resolving The Problem

Source

RETAIN tip: H064610

Symptom

When a system is shut down, it can be unexpectedly powered on when an Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) adapter has external power applied.

For example, if a system has been shut down to add an RSA card (and the system still has the AC power plugged in), once the RSA card has been seated, one may need to have additional standby power, and the AC adapter for RSA is required for this case. As the power is plugged into the RSA card, the host system can be started as well.

Affected configurations

The system is configured with the following option(s):

  • IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter, option part number 09N7585, replacement part number (FRU) 36L9912

The system's diagnostics pass.

Workaround

When applying external power to the RSA card, ensure that the system's AC power is disconnected.
