if you connect a console to such a node, is it simply panic'ed?

I have the occasional node which turns itself off under load.
the IPMI reports power being off, so it's distinct from panics.
the IPMI system-error-log doesn't show any reason.
we (and the vendor) regard this as grounds for repair (usually
the power supply).
