Selecting "Reboot" will reboot the target server blade. A confirmation dialog is displayed first.
Clicking <OK> in the confirmation dialog shuts down the OS and reboots the managed server.
At this time, the power button changes to an intermediate "Power ON in progress" state (green - blinking). The power button finally
displays "Power ON" status after confirming that the OS has started up correctly on the target server.
