Power On System turns on the server (the equivalent of pressing the

the system is already powered on.

NMI (Non-Masking Interrupt) generates an NMI to halt system
operation. An NMI sends a high-level interrupt to the operating
system, which causes the system to halt operation to allow for critical
diagnostic or troubleshooting activities. This option is disabled if the
system is already powered off.
–
Graceful Shutdown attempts to shut down the operating system, then
powers off the system. Graceful shutdown requires an ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)-aware operating
system, which allows for system directed power management. This
option is disabled if the system is already powered off.
–
Reset System (warm boot) reboots the system without powering off.
This option is disabled if the system is already powered off.

Power Cycle System (cold boot) powers off and then reboots the system.
This option is disabled if the system is already powered off.
