Control panel

Control panel is the name for the physical area of the server where the power button is located, along with diagnostic and other functions.

"You can use the physical control panel to perform functions such as IPL, power on, and power off. Control panel functions range in complexity from functions that display status (such as IPL speed) to low-level service functions that only service representatives access." [1]
