Chris, when I access the chassis information from the AOM menu, I get the following which helps me to believe that the power is on for the blade. I could also turn on/off power to the blade using the AOM menu. 

Slot 1 blade information:
    AOM firmware version     : 02.10
    AOM bootloader version   : 01.02
    Serial number            : bldxxxxxxs
    MAC address              : 00xxxxxxxxxx0
    Power status             : on
    Primary LED              : off
    Secondary LED            : off
    Status LED               : yellow solid
    Alarm LED                : off
