Turning off the server
You can turn off the server in any of the following ways:
• You can press the power control button on the front of the server. This starts an
orderly shutdown of the operating system, if this feature is supported by your
operating system, and places the server in standby mode.
Note: After turning off the server, wait at least five seconds before you press the
power control button to turn on the server again.
• You can press and hold the power control button for more than four seconds to
cause an immediate shutdown of the server and place the server in standby
mode. You can use this feature if the operating system stops functioning.
• You can disconnect the server power cords from the electrical outlets to shut off
all power to the server.
Note: After disconnecting the power cords, wait approximately 15 seconds for
your system to stop running.
CAUTION:
The power control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not
turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than
one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power
cords are disconnected from the power source.
