Power down the server

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment,

remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby

button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some
internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.

IMPORTANT:

If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the server.

Shut down the operating system as directed by the operating system documentation.

Press the Power On/Standby button to place the server in Standby mode. When the server activates
Standby power mode, the system power LED changes to amber.

panels. In a rack environment, this feature facilitates locating a server when moving between

the front and rear of the rack.
