Shutting Down the Board

If you are going to remove the HP Remote Assistant board from the server, or if you
want to intentionally power down the server for a period of time, you should shut down
the board. By shutting down the board, you can prevent battery drainage and avoid
generating voltage warning pages when you intentionally power off the system.

To shut down the HP Remote Assistant board, choose Shutdown Board from the Main
Menu. A dialog box appears, informing you that all board functions will cease when
the board shuts down, including paging and dial-in.

When you press Enter to continue, the board shuts down and another dialog box
appears, informing you that the board was successfully shut down and that you must
power cycle the system to restart the board. (After shutdown, the board will
automatically restart the next time the server restarts on a power cycle.)

NOTE

If you fail to shut down the board before intentionally shutting down the
server for an extended period of time, the board will continue to operate on
battery power for at least one hour (and up to three hours). If the board
determines that its battery is nearly exhausted, it will shut itself off to prevent
a "deep discharge" condition.
