There is a special cable that connects to the on/off switch. This cable comes with the RiloeII kit.

Mike greetings. The document you are referring to is an HP/Compaq "internal" document that I was able to get from them.

A Major help in this would be to use ELECTRICAL tape to hold the 3 Seperate cable together, as you will need the entire length to make it work...

I created a document so that this reply is not 8 miles long....IT is a self made document so do not be too critical...

thanks everyone. The server in question is a ProLiant 8000 not an 8500, but I did figure out what I need. It is setup just like an old 1850R with the hardware switch. Now I just have to find one of those cables somewhere.
