How does this relate to computer being in Halt state, which is quite valid state for servers (there could be even a dedicated Halt button)? Technically computer hardware is ON. I remember that in such state it shows a "carrot" prompt (>>>) from the SRE console.

By the way, there is also HCF instruction (Halt and Catch Fire).
